Telling our friends and family has been so fun! Here's how we told our parents...
We invited the Raines and the Yeands over for dinner on Thursday, March 8th. They had NO idea we were even trying to conceive, so they didn't think anything about it when we invited them to dinner. Andy grilled ribeyes and I made the veggies.
As we were sitting at the dinner table enjoying conversation, I mentioned that Andy and I had been talking about getting another dog. (That was Andy's cue to chime in.) Then, Andy informed our parents we almost got a miniature pincher, but decided it would be too much with a baby on the way.
Their reaction was priceless! They didn't know if we were serious or joking around. They all sat there for a moment processing the words Andy so nonchalantly spoke. Then, when I began to smile, it hit mom. She started screaming and cheering. She was so excited. I think her reaction was "finally!" Melanie was so overcome with excitement she began to cry. This was definitely cause for a celebration, so both grandma's-to-be had a glass of wine to celebrate! Of course, our fathers were just as excited. They were already planning for Baby Raines' arrival.
It was the BEST night ever. Our parents are going to be WONDERFUL grandparents!
