Sharing the News

Steven and I went crib shopping, man those things are expensive for such a little baby to sleep in.  We found one at Babies Furniture Plus Kids in the ghetto on Decker.  It is an awesome store and we got some great ideas along with a crib and a mattress. The fun part was the set up and Bailey even helped, well really she just hid in the paper and chewed on the box.  The crib is set up in the extra bedroom and we are going to leave the bed in there as well since we hope to continue to have guests come for visits once the baby arrives. 

We also decided this would be a fun way to tell our family so my mom, sister, and her kids were planning a trip for the weekend of August 19th.  I was going to get off work around 6:00 and the arrived at the house around 5:30 (this was the plan). I left a key outside and they found the crib...mission accomplished!  When I got home, they all had shirts on with sayings on them. I know the picture isn't the greatest, but you get the point. I guess they had an idea that we might have some news to share....how did they know? It was still fun to share the news. 

We spent some time on the lake on Saturday and both kids went tubing, it was fun to see their excited little faces!  The plan was to wait another week before telling some of our friends, but with Kyson there, it was way more fun to tell them.
It went like this:

Me  "Kyson, tell them what is at our our house." 
Kyson "a baby's crib."  

Me   "Kyson, where is the baby?"  

Then he pointed to my tummy.  

It was great and just as if we had rehearsed the whole thing...which we had not I will assure you.

Steven's family came to dinner on Saturday night and we celebrated and shared our excitement some more. It is so much fun to tell people. Everyone has been so supportive and encouraging through this whole process; a process that has really only begun.
