Letting the cat out of the bag

We decided it was just too hard to keep our secret from our family, originally I thought we would wait a little longer then one day to tell them but we just couldn't wait. Friday after I got home from work my hubby was working on typing up a letter to give to his parents. You see his Dad is a real jokester that likes to play games, so we had to get him back! Originally we thought that something like the A&W commercial would have been perfect (give him a Grandpa burger instead of a Papa burger) but he would have expected that so we had to come up with something else. My hubby thought it would be fun to write up this letter to his parents and make it look like it came from a law firm. The letter stated how they were not allowed to leave the country between June and July of 2008 and it said something about an addition to the house and if they don't attend this unknown date they will revoke their rights as Grandparents! LOL His Mom got to the Grandparent part way quicker then Dad so he was a little confused when she started jumping up and down and yelling how they are going to be Grandparents! he he It was pretty funny! ;)

So this morning I woke up pretty early and headed out to St.Albert, my first stop was my brothers work. I asked him if he was ready to be an Uncle yet? and he said Yeah why? I just stared at him and after about 5 seconds he clued in and asked Are you ? Really ?? Then he was happy and said his congrats. Next stop was my Moms, we sat and talked for a bit and then she went to get me this bracelet she bought in Vegas and I told her I had something to show her too, so I passed her the digital pee stick with the word "pregnant" right on it and she got all excited. Then asked what end I pee'd on!? LOL Then she brought out some onezees that she had purchased from Vegas last year, they are super cute little M&M characters so when it's on the baby it will look like "Red" or "yellow peanut" and they come with matching hats, sooo cute! Next was my girlfriend Denise's, I had told her hubby the day before that my BBT temp had dropped so I didn't bother testing cause I expected different news (AF). I just didn't want him to know before her, so when I walked in she said "So I hear you're temp dropped?" and I said "yup - but it didn't matter." She caught on pretty quick and gave me hugs, she asked me if I wanted to borrow her book "What to Expect when Expecting" so I said sure cause I was thinking about buying it. She told me that it was a little "dry" but a good book with lots of info and after flipping through the first 100 pages or so I can definitely agree with her .... very dry! Nothing like "The Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy" which was so funny and witty I barely put it down! :) I only had one stop left after Denise's, and that was my Dad's. He was pretty simple to tell, I just told him that I had to congratulate him and he asked why? So I said on becoming a Papa again!! He was shocked at first I think and asked Really? Just like my brother. So that is it for telling people, for a little while at least! I think we will wait a few weeks to tell the Grandparents and then a few weeks more after that to totally let the cat out of the bag!
