Sharing the News

My parents came for a visit and to celebrate our middle child's birthday over the weekend of October 2-4. I couldn't help it and begged my husband to let me tell them, even though it was earlier than we normally felt comfortable sharing the news. He agreed, and my parents were thrilled. We started making plans... Mom would come in March to help me get some cooking ahead done and we'd do some cleaning and then she'd come again after the baby was born, because my due date was at the end of May, right before school was out for the summer, so she'd be here to help until my husband was home for the summer.

The next weekend, my mother-in-law and her sisters and neice came for a "girls' getaway" to visit us, and of course we couldn't wait to tell them too! I called my father-in-law and let him know right away too. Everyone wanted to know if they could share the news and we asked that they just wait 3 days until my first doctors' appointment and saw/heard a heartbeat and knew that all was well, and then they could tell.

They left Sunday afternoon, October 11.
