I don't have time to Blog!

So today was the day for telling Jess’ side of the family. We managed to get everyone together at the Target Portrait Studio for a nice family picture. The photographer was a bit strange… but she did the job. She got everyone into position and then started taking photos. She took about 5 or so, each time saying “Everyone say Cheese!” and each time my heart beating a bit faster. Then on the last group photo she announced, “Everyone say Michelle’s Pregnant”

SILENCE

No one said anything. At which point in time, I stated “No really, I am.” Still Nothing. “REALLY. I AM.” Jess backed me up by saying, “She really is.” And everyone realized we were serious and this was not just something the photographer was saying to make everyone laugh. So everyone gasped, smiled and laughed and we got the photo we were hoping for. (to be posted in approximately 10 days when available on-line)

We then proceeded to take some very cute “Couples” Photos (dogs included) and the night was over. I must admit I was shaking the whole time. It was ridiculous. The car ride there, I kept telling Jess “I’m gonna throw up, I’m gonna throw up.” Not from morning sickness (to which I have had NONE, in the even you were curious *beam*) but from nerves.

Everyone was very excited for us and very supportive. Ryan and Melissa offered their babysitting services upfront which was very big of them, and I love them dearly for it! Of course Auntie Victoria did too. Stephanie & Ali, were both excited and look forward to helping us with the next BIG step in our life. I am sure we will stumble and fall down a bit but as long as we have family to help us back up, I know this will be the happiest pregnancy and baby in the world.
