Today I just want to recap on how I told Micheal and how we shared the news with our loved ones.
So, the morning I found out we were in Colorado on vacation with my parents, my brother, and his girlfriend. I really wanted to think of a creative way to tell Micheal (my original plan was to buy a Texas Longhorn Onesie and give it to him), but we were going to be with family all day and we both had to go back to work the next day and I just knew there was NO WAY I could keep this news from him for that long. So I just decided to tell him when he woke up.
I laid there for what seemed like FOREVER waiting for him to get up. When he finally did I told him that I had a present for him and he needed to go put his contacts in so I could give it to him. He came back in the room and I said I made you something... and I handed him the test. He just stared at it. He later told me that he wasn't sure what two lines meant... but he was pretty sure I wouldn't show him a negative test so it must be positive. LOL. While he was staring at it I jokingly said 'Two lines means twins!' He was like WHAT!? Ha Ha! He just kind of sat there in shock and then gave me a hug. I asked him if he was happy and he said he was. We were both pretty speechless... and the worst part was we had to go through the day with the family acting like nothing was happening. It was soooo hard!
I was so happy all day that day. Just walking on the clouds! I was carrying our baby!
I wanted to wait until I went to the doctor before we told our families but my Mom's bday party was the following Sunday night and I REALLY wanted to tell her by giving her a present. And she wouldn't be suspicious that I was giving her a gift because it was her bday! I decided I wanted to tell her by giving her a charm for her bracelet. Micheal asked what I was looking for and I said I would know it when I saw it. We went to Kohls to find one and there it was...a stork carrying a little bag!And the best part was it was 98% off... it only cost like $2 LOL! I gave it to her at her party when just our family was around. Her reaction was PRICELESS! We got it all on video and it was awesome.
We then made plans to tell Micheal's parents later that week at dinner. By then I had gone to the doctor and they did a sonogram and gave me a printout so we decided to tell them by giving them the picture. They were so excited and Micheal's mom cried. We had to tell Kristen and Miranda over the phone because they live out of town. We wanted to facetime them but had technical difficulties so instead we texted them a picture of us holding the sonogram while we were talking to them. Everyone was so excited!
When we got home from Micheal's parents house we facetimed Andy and Meg and told them. Andy was excited and Meg cried. It was so sweet!
We decided to wait until my 8 week sonogram to tell anybody else... including grandparents.
Once we got the good report from the doctor we spread the word! It was so nice to let the cat out of the bag and not have to keep that enormous secret anymore!
Everyone was so excited and ready for April 2016 when Baby Simpson would arrive!!
The Sonogram pic we sent to Micheal's sisters and showed his parents!
Mom's reaction was priceless!
Gage's 2nd bday party. This was the weekend I first experienced the not so pleasant part of being pregnant... nausea extreme! The little band I am wearing is a sea band that is supposed to help... it didn't. LOL.
Heath and Courtney sent us this pic after we texted them the news!
We told Nanny and Pappy by putting a shirt on Gage that said "My cousin will be here April 2016"
(Kayla was pregnant with Lilah in this pic but Nanny and Pappy didn't know yet! :))
