I didn't know what to do... Father's day was just a little over a week away. But, I could not NOT tell Shawn. He had been saying for over a week that I was pregnant and I always told him no. I was just SO HAPPY. So, I walked up to him and just said his name, he said "You're pregnant!" All I could do was shake my head yes, I was just so happy and so in shock!
He then said a prayer and kissed my belly, just as he had done with Landon. It was so sweet. After, I called my sisters and my mom to tell them the good news! Again, just as I had done with Landon!
I have started to feel my body stretching and pulling, just a lot earlier than I ever felt it the last time. Few bouts of nausea, but nothing serious. I am way more tired this time than the first! I think I owe that to having Landon to run after and not being able to rest like I did with the first!
Father's Day was truly amazing. My dad, Dan, was going to have a celebration at his house and invited my in-laws. After this was planned, we found out we were pregnant. So, we thought it would be truly special to tell our dads (and everyone there) that we were pregnant! I wanted to do something that would make it magical. I bought a frame for each, that included two smaller frames. In the top frame, I put a picture of Landon, his name and birth date. The bottom frame had a piece of paper that said, "Baby #2 Estimated Due Date: 2/14/2010 You're a grandpa - again!"
I missed seeing my father-in-law's face, but was watching my dad as he saw it first. His eyes gog huge, he looked at me crying and I nodded at him. I ran up and gave him a big hug. By this time, Bill had realized it too, so I gave him a great big hug. At this point, it was out. Everyone was giving us hugs and congratulating us. I was crying and my mother-in-law Pam was crying too! It was the most amazing experience. Everyone was so happy and it was so great to have such wonderful responses to our big news!
Pam and I spoke later and she told me how everyone has been talking about us having another baby and how everyone is very ready. So are we! I had touching converstaions with all of my family memebers, all so excited and ready for this beautiful baby to be here! Bill told me that he knew something was up, he didn't know what, but knew something was going on. We got Pam and my dad by complete surprise, which was totally fun!
I had seen Bill and Pam the night before as we had a Pampered Chef party and Bill was going to watch Landon for us. He said hello and looked at me, as if he knew that there was something I had to tell him. I told Shawn later that I thought he was onto us!
We are so incredibly thrilled! We will be thoroughly enjoying every step along the way and trying to soak up as much Landon as we can before baby boo #2 is here! We are so blessed and so thankful for this precious new life.
We will be 8wks tomorrow! Due on Valentine's Day 2010!
Our little love baby! Affectionately called Baby Boo #2!
