So going into the doctors office Brittany and I thought that no matter what happened we would keep it to ourselves for the next few weeks at least. As we left the doctors office we both knew that their was no way possible that we kept this from anyone. Since Brittany's parents live about 2 blocks away from us and they were both home we decided to tell them first. Brittany had a small stack of pictures to show them and had put a picutre of our positive pregnancy test in the mix. It had to be pretty obvious why we were at their house that early on a Monday afternoon. As they looked through the pictures they came to the picture of the test and Brittany's mom somehow thought that the test showed "Not-Pregnant". To which Brittany and I thought, "Why would we show you a picture of a negative pregnancy test?", just seems kinda cruel. At any rate they were exicted and immediately began to discuss what their grandparent names would be.

My parents were a bit of a moving target. It happened to be my Dad's birthday and we thought that it was perfect to tell them on his birthday. As we got to their house, Dad was there but Mom had an eye doctor appointment so she was running late. Well dad had to go to a spelling bee, so he needed to leave and mom did not get home in time. We had to sit on our secret for another day and it almost killed me. At any rate when we did get to tell them they were not together. We saw my Mom first, I simply handed her a card with the ultrasound picture in it. Like an idiot, I did not make her sit down. I thought she was going to pass out. I could not let my Mom know and not Dad the same night. So off to Elkton School we went. Mom went in and got Dad out of the spelling bee. As he came into his office I just handed him the ultrasound picture and told him " He was going to be a Gramps".

Brittany and I are very blessed to have such loving families. We have since told just about everyone else. Our brothers and their wives were very excited and it makes everything alot of fun for us. Brittany and I also have some really awesome friends that were excited to hear our news. Our child is going to have alot of "Aunts and Uncles", and we think that is great.
