Spilling the *other* beans

12w5d

Well, we're out of the closet. A few friends have known for a few weeks, but we've been keeping the majority of people in the dark about the pregnancy. Including the parents!

We had dinner with Chris's parents last night, and revealed toward the end of the meal. Chris had bought a onesie and some little socks (all with Cal's Oski on them) and I wrapped them in tissue paper and put them in a bag. We gave them to Chris's mom after dinner, who said "What's this present for?" Chris said, "It's a retirement gift, something to keep you occupied." She pulled out the clothes and stared at them for a second, and then said, "Okay, but who are these for?" Chris just smiled and said, "They're for your next grandchild!" Ah, the lightbulb goes off. Haha.

We told my mom today by giving her a card that said "Welcome to grandparenthood!" and we included the due date. Perhaps the direct approach is better? :)

The spreading of the news through Chris's family was seriously like wildfire. Twenty minutes after we got home from dinner we were getting calls from cousins and aunts screaming and saying congratulations. I love that everyone is just as excited about Cookie as we are.
