If you just found yourself gasping for air and asking yourself WHAT, then you are exactly where I was 5 weeks ago. We were a tad bit, okay, greatly shocked but we are so excited now. It has been a whole new world already.
I found out on a Friday when we had a house full of guest. Most of you are aware of Zach's desire to start a family so I knew there was NO WAY I could tell him the news. I had to work the rest of the weekend and I knew if I had told him he would tell our guest out of excitement. It worked out well because I could adjust to the fact that there was a baby inside of me and be really thrilled when I told him. I told him first thing Sunday Morning and he was so excited but a little shocked too.
I then headed to Memphis to celebrate Mothers Day with Lala and broke the news to her. Actually Allie Kate Nutt broke the news to her. If that doesn't make sense to you then go back to December post and learn a little! :) She was so excited and did a jumping number that was very funny! She said she already knew which she probably did because she kept saying, "Just tell me your pregnant, I already know". See she has this really weird thing where she can tell. Just ask the Popes! After spending the day with my Mom I kept saying, "Can you believe I am pregnant"? She simply replied, "yea I can"!
I rushed home to Oxford and we headed to Zach's parents to tell them. They were so shocked and very excited as well. They are really hoping for a girl since they have a hill loaded with boys!
Then over the next few weeks we began to tell people about Baby King. It is impossible to keep quite grandmas to be around!
I was so excited at the timing of all of this because one of my very best friends, Lisa was in town so I was able to tell her in person! All my other friends had to have the bomb dropped on the telephone!
I told my Dad's side of the family one night at Rhonda's house. We were all gathered around and I told them I had a game to play. Against all of their wishes, we played. I had written out the date on bibs and gave each person one and told them to spell the words out. They were not totally shocked by the bibs because my sweet Aunt Nancy had made a bib for Uncle Bill because he apparently can be messy. I introduced the game by saying, "I brought a little bib for everyone because I know ya'll are jealous of Uncle Bills". They all laughed and didn't think anything else about it.
This post is getting to be so long, tomorrow I will post the "All you ever wanted to know"!!!
