7 week Ultrasound
We traveled to Conway and Myrtle Beach this weekend to see our families for Father's Day and to start spreading our news!
On Saturday, I met my Mom for lunch in Conway, SC. We ate at our of my favorite little downtown restaurants, The Trestle. Before we went inside I gave her a t-shirt rolled up with a ribbon around it! When she opened it she read, "I am going to be a Nana!".
She was in shock for the rest of the day!
Then, I met Michelle and Davis. We walked around Conway, in and out of several cute shops, wondered into an Art Gallery where the owner was so excited to see us that he helped us waste almost an hour of our time giving him tips on attracting "trendy and progressive people" like US! I gave Michelle a little ornament that said "One Cool Aunt" for her June 12th birthday! She opened it and said "Oh Davis, Auntie Kimbery is making sure she is your favorite!" and then I said "No, this is for Auntie Michelle"! She was so excited!
On Saturday night, we had a cookout at Brett's parents home. At one point in the evening we grabbed Tom and asked him to come into the room. We gave him a card and a bag with a polo shirt and then his t-shirt! He unrolled the t-shirt that said " I am going to be a Grandpa" and said "No WAY!" Then he started crying and hugged me and Brett! It was really sweet! We made him put the t-shirt on and he walked out to see the rest of the family! Carla said she "knew it" because I had been sick that morning! I think she was "hoping". Then she said she " was broke"! I guess she is already planning to buy all those cute baby outfits! Tom was so shaken up he could not even say grace! I think he is very excited about being a grandparent!
On Sunday, we met to see my dad and went to lunch. Prior to leaving he opened his bag of gifts and pulled out a t-shirt too! He stood there holding it up and said "What is this?" Then, he showed my brother, who came running in from the front porch, he was super excited and asked why I had been keeping it a secret for so long! Then, he called Stacy and said I just had to tell her! She was also happy.
Brett called Bill and Gisele today to tell them too! Gisele was super excited to go baby shopping!
Overall, spreading the news has been fun!
