We had talked about how we would tell our families and friends when we found out for sure. At first, we thought we'd wait until the first doctor's appointment. Well when we actually saw that plus sign, there was no way either of us would be able to wait to tell our parents until we went to the doctor.
As I said, we found out on my birthday, so we decided to tell Danny and Janice and Jessica at dinner that night. This wasn't officially decided until the drive to the restaurant that night! Zach couldn't stand it! They were all thrilled and it actually took a little convincing to get Jess to believe we weren't kidding. After dinner we went over to Granny June's for cake and ice cream. We had decided that we were going to wait to tell everyone else until after the doctor's appointment (which I had scheduled for the next week).
Charley happened to be in town that day, so when we got home we called Melanie and told them together. They were a bit surprised and thrilled!
I called Ben and told him he was going to be a real Uncle, not just an Uncle Ben to Jere and Pickles! He couldn't believe it either and was of course thrilled. He immediately decided it was going to be a boy!
Mom and Dad were the last calls of the day because Mom had been in class and I wanted to wait until they were together for me to tell them. They were a bit speechless (imagine that!) and were so very excited!
I had also called Lynz a little bit earlier in the evening to tell her. I think she was my favorite response of all. She actually had some clue of what was coming, whereas all of our families were shocked! I asked her if she wanted to be called Aunt Lyndsay and the next thing I heard was screaming... "Oh my gosh!" "Did you find out today?" "On your birthday?" "God is so good to you!".
She is so right. God is very good to me.
