The Reveal!!!!

Ok, so the moment you've all been waiting for!!!  Or mostly I've been waiting for...lol...the REVEAL!!  So, I am the worst at keeping secrets because I feel like I am hiding someting and the guilt is just written all over my face!!  However, I was able to keep it a secret from my parents until we had our first ultrasound just to make sure everything was good.  We told our families on mother's day because it was a good excuse to give them a gift and no one would expect that we were pregnant from that.  So, the day before mother's day we were with my family.  I had told my mom that I wanted to come make her dinner for mother's day and us kids would give her a gift then too.  So, here was the menu for the dinner that I made her....

1. Baby Back Ribs
2. Baby Carrots
3. Baby Potatoes
4. Salad with Baby Tomatoes in it
5. Dessert: Baby Cupcakes

Now, most of us do not look at our food and think it is trying to tell us something and therefore, neither did my mom.  She just made the comments that everything was so cute and so little!  So, we ate our dinner and Greg and I anxiously awaited the time for presents.  (It was so hard to just be relaxed and act like nothing was planned!!)  Well, the time came and after I practically begged my brother to give my mom his gift first it was our turn....  Drum roll please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Greg had thought of the idea to give our moms a figurine from Willow Tree that was called Grandmother.  So, my mom slowly opened the present...she read the title Willow Tree and said, "Oo, I love these!"  Then she read something else and got to the word Grandmother.  She immediately was overwhelmed with emotion and crying she said, "Are you serious?!"  I said, Yep!  And with everyone crying we exchanged hungs and kisses :)  It was such a special moment for us.  My favorite quote of the evening was when my brother said, "Im nervous."  Hahaha...oh brother :)

Anyway, the next day, on actual mother's day was Greg's family's turn.  We got his mom the same wooden carving figurine and we got his nephews t-shirts that inside the superman logo said "Cousin."  The reaction was again priceless and it was such a special moment :) 

Fewwww!  I felt so much better telling everyone!!  Now, I could relax and know that I have support and prayers coming my way :)  Thank you God for wonderful family and friends to share in the joy of such a great miracle!
