So it has finally happened!!

After 2 home pregnancy tests and a trip to the doctor to confirm, we finally believed that I was indeed pregnant!!

We were so EXCITED!! And of course started thinking of ways we would tell our parents. And Joey decided that there was no way he was going to tell them over the phone, so we splurged and bought plane tickets home!! One of the best splurges ever and so glad that Joey took the initiative and did this!!

Joey, also came up with the awesome idea of how we were going to tell our parents that we were having a baby!! So lucky to be married to a wonderful and creative man!!

And 2 weeks after we found out, we were on a plane heading home to surprise our parents with not only a surprise visit, but with some very exciting news that they were going to be grandparents!!!

Thanks to Holly, as she was the only one who knew we were coming home and for keeping it a secret! And anyone who knows Holly, knows this can be a challenge! But she did it and was our chauffeur. So thanks again Holly!!!

So Holly, first brought us to my mom's work where we surprised, did not tell her anything just surprised her!! And she was surprised and it was so fun to see the look on her face!

After that we borrowed her car and headed over to Mom and Dad Ross's house! Where Joey called them and asked if they wanted to play a game of sequence and surprise there we were on their deck! Again, completely shocked and wish we could of had our camera ready to snap pictures of the shocked look on their faces!!!

Mom and Dad Ross were the first ones we shared our exciting news with! Joey's idea was to show them pictures of when they visited and just some other more recent pictures! And of course the last picture we showed them was this one:

Once this picture was on the screen of the tv, it got so quiet, that I looked at Joey like um what if they don't get it??? And he just shrugged his shoulders and before he could say anything his mom started to cry and his dad was like "really??"
Many hugs and tears were shared! It was a very special moment and they reacted in a way I never would of imagined as this will be their 5th grandchild!!! But they were so happy for us and so excited!!

After we spent some more time with the Ross's, we were on our way to tell my sister Katy and her fiance Brandon! We wanted to tell them in a different way, a more careful way because I am due on June 2nd and they are getting married on June 18th. So we just wanted to sit down with them and explain that no matter what happens we are going to try our best to be there for their big day!! I want nothing more than to be there and to share in their special day.I mean my goodness my baby sister is getting married and I can't imagine not being there!! So hopefully all our prayers will be answered and everything will work out and we will be there new baby and all!

After talking with them we went home to surprise my dad when he got home from work! It was decided that since one of the first things my dad does when he gets home on Fridays is head to the bedroom to get ready to go to the gym. Well, when he walked in his room to get ready, he had a mighty big surprise waiting for him in his bed-JOEY!!
My mom, Holly, and I were hiding in their bathroom, so I was able to get a picture of the shocked look on his face!

Being able to get this picture was key because it was an excuse to show them the pictures!! And as soon as my mom saw the picture, she was like "I just knew it!"

Both Joey and I knew she would figure something was up when she saw us and she was right! Lots of excitement was in the air!!

The rest of the weekend was spent with both of our families and sharing the news with everyone else!
The best was my grandma who we had to explain the picture to because she thought the dogs were having a baby! Haha

We went home back to Texas completely exhausted, but more than anything we came home very excited and feeling that this was for real now that we got to share it with our families!


I am officially into my 2nd trimester, as I am 14 weeks and 2 days!!
Yipee!
Hopefully this now means I will start to feel better and enjoy the fact that I have this little miracle growing inside me!

Here are some pictures of our 1st trimester ultrasound of our little squirt!!!
