Telling the Grandparents

Yesterday JR and I got to visit his parents in Amish Country at their RV. I was so excited because we were FINALLY going to get to tell his parents the good news! After going through many ideas of how we would break it to them, we had decided to make a t-shirt explaining it all. After we arrived I had a zip-down hoodie and said, "Man, it's getting hot out here!" I then unzipped the hoodie and exposed the message underneath. It took my father-in-law a little while to get it, but my mother-in-law got it pretty much right away. She jumped out of her chair in disbelief and gave me the biggest hug with tears in her eyes! It was so exciting to finally tell them!!

Then today my parents finally came to visit for "Memorial Day", or so they thought. I knew they were going to have guests over for dinner after church and that they would leave right after that for our house. However, knowing the news I had to tell them, I was getting extremely impatient and kept calling them wondering when they were going to leave! Finally they arrived around 5 p.m. I was so excited! I was finally going to get to tell them that they're going to be grandparents again! I wanted to give them clues through a game of Scrabble, so we played a round yet the letters never fell our way to do so. Thankfully, my sister had given me another idea of getting some pink and blue paint swatches, so I had picked those up on the way home from church as a backup plan. After the game, since they didn't get our clues through Scrabble, I grabbed the swatches and told them I needed help deciding between the two colors for the room upstairs. Mom was totally clueless until Daddy FINALLY got it and asked me, "Are you pregnant!?" I was so excited to say yes!

It's about time. Everyone finally knows the good news! We're all so excited and will be faithfully praying for this child from here on out.
