So how do you tell your parents that you're going to have a baby?
Well, we decided to tell my parents over dinner, but I didn't necessarily want to just come out and say it. We thought it would be neat to give them a gift that would indicate that they were going to be grandparents. I wanted to do a Christmas ornament that said "Grandma & Grandpa" or something like that, but unfortunately I couldn't find anything like that at Hallmark. So we decided to go with some pacifiers neatly wrapped in a gift bag.
We sat down at the table and handed my parents the gift bag saying, "We got you a little something today." As soon as my mom pulled out the pacifiers, my dad about fell out of his chair. They were both speechless! We all got a little teary and exchanged hugs all around.
After dinner, we went to my parents house to make some other important calls. We debated on whether or not to tell Jason's parents, as we are going to see them in 2 weeks and thought about telling them in person. But we just could not wait! Jason's parents were thrilled as well! We also called Bonbon & Grumps, Lez and Jim, Aunt Jana, and Alex (Uncle Alex, that is!). All were excited for the happy news!

Pregnant!
That's right! We're having a baby!
Yesterday (7-29-2008) was the day I found out! When I first got the official word, I had many mixed emotions. 2 days ago, we learned that Jason had won his first company trip with Edward Jones and it is scheduled for the first week of February 2009. I had been charting my waking temperature for 2 months and my temperature was supposed to shift downward this morning but instead it shifted upward. I decided, "what the heck," I'll take a pregnancy test just to be sure I'm not, because being pregnant could affect this trip. As soon as I looked at the test, I could see a faint line emerging, but it stayed faint. So I wasn't sure how to read that. I called my best friend, Sheena, and she said the same thing happened to her when she was pregnant! With that, it was off the doctor's! I had to know TODAY to be able to tell Jason that we may have to reschedule our trip. After waiting about 10 minutes, they called me back to the lab and Dr. Park greeted me with a smile and his pen pointed to the test results on a paper..."Positive." He said "Congratulations," and I wasn't sure what to think! I was excited, but what would Jason think. I was so nervous to tell him, but I called Sheena, asked for her to pray and headed to his office.
The minute I walked in to his office, I burst into tears (I probably scared him). I said I was sorry but that I just came from the doctor's and that I was pregnant. He responded in the most perfect way possible. Teary eyed, he said "why would I be mad? Wow! That's wonderful!" It was a perfect moment. Thankfully, we should still be able to go on our trip and be back with plenty of time for the baby to arrive. "IT" is due April 7, 2009 and we couldn't be more excited!
