So today we told my family the big news. We used the same scenario to tell them that we did to tell Jess’ family but we changed it up a bit. Instead of the photographer saying “Michelle’s Pregnant!” We had Jess say “Michelle is 8 weeks pregnant!” We figured this would be a bit more believable and maybe they wouldn’t think it was a joke the way Jess’ family did.

We were wrong. On the 4th picture Jess blurted out “Michelle is 8 weeks pregnant” and my mom said “Ha ha ha you’re so funny.” To which I replied, “Nope, I really am.” Then the excitement set in. I thought my mom was going to cry for a minute as she turned and said “Oh my Gosh!! That’s so exciting!”

Whew! What a relief. All my fears out the window and Jess gave me a big kiss and hug as I am sure he felt the relief as much as I did.

We had the Ultrasound pictures there so as everyone was getting their own family pictures, we were able to show the newest picture of the newest member of our family.

We went out to dinner at Famous Dave’s BBQ to celebrate… without wine. (at least for me) We all toasted to the new baby. I am not quite sure how many times my dad told the waitress, I was prego… but you could tell he was proud and excited to be a grandpa!
