We decided to tell my parents at dinner the Monday before Father's day before she left. I handed her the card with little words and waited for her to open with anticipation! They were both surprised and filled with happiness! It was a great moment! We told my siblings on Father's day. My older brother was playing with Nick's new phone and I told him, "whatever you do, don't look at the pictures!" He got so curious and I could only wonder what he was thinking! Well finally I pulled up an ultrasound picture on the phone and showed it to him (that's what I didn't want him to see)! At first, he didnt know what it was lol. Luckily, his wife Jamie understood. Landon was a little slow and when he heard baby, he jumped for joy! My little brother is AMAZING with kids! He can't wait to hold the baby all the time! I can't wait to see him be an uncle!
On Father's day, we had a BBQ at Nick's parent's house with the whole family. I had the card with me the whole time waiting for the perfect time to give it to them. It just seemed that no one would be all together at the same time or not for long! Plus, our brother in law was sick and missing the whole thing :( Finally after dessert, we were able to share the news. It was a happy and tearful time! Finally, the big news was out!!

After our families knew we were able to call and text our friends and other family members. I was a little sad that this secret wasn't just between Nick and I anymore, It was our thing that we knew. Yet, afterwards with everyone knowing, it made it all more exciting!!
Funny little story, at church on Father's Day, one lady (who happens to be a teacher with my mom) said to Nick, "Happy Father's Day........one day!" Phew, I thought somehow she had found out and was going to spill the news in front of my brothers. It made my heart beat a little faster, but I knew she meant nothing else by it.
Well that's it for now! The word is out and it's so fun!!
