We Told the Truth

To my dearest sweet baby,


We told my parents first, and then your daddy’s parents. It was exciting, and scary. Your daddy and I had the hardest time figuring out how to tell them. We planned to tell them at least 3 times before finally going through with it. We were honestly so scared. Ha-ha

We didnt want to tell others in fear of loosing you, so we told grandpa and grandma, and waited till I was in the 'clearer' for miscarrage. It was hard to make sure your grandpas and grandmas, aunties,and uncles wouldnt slip out our wonderful little secret.

So, we told my parents, or grandpa and grandma Mark and Dawniss Hanson...in an odd way? I showed my mom some pictures on my camera and ‘accidentally’ stumbled upon 3 photos that happened to be of those stick I mentioned before...at first mom didn’t get it, Brooke didn’t know what I was showing her, and finally it dawned upon her as Zack hinted.

We told your grandparents Wayne and Dena Hanson by playing a game called Balderdash, in which your daddy used the initials B.T.W.C.I.P . . . (the point is for them to make up an definition for the initials, trying to foll everyone into guessing that their definition is the real one, all the while trying to guess the REAL definition) Your daddy of course made up the initials, along with his idea of the definition, being By The Way Chelsie Is Pregnant. They didn’t quite get it at first either.
I can’t wait to meet you, and hold you. To put a face to that little body I know is growing inside of me.

I Love You,
Mommy
