Second Doctors Visit

We had agreed not to tell anyone that we were pregnant for some time and it was killing us to keep it a deep secret. At wrestling meets, Brent would make little comments when seeing a baby and such or even stating "You are one HOT MAMA!" I would just laugh! Debbie even once said, "What is so funny?" We replied, "Oh, nothing." She commented, "Secrets don't make friends." If she only knew! At my college graduation party, people asked us when we were going to have a baby and we simply stated "Oh, not for a little bit!" Which was not a lie!

Man, was this a hard secret to keep when we are so excited! On Terry's birthday, we decided to tell everyone that we were expecting. We purchased Terry a baby bib that stated "I love my Grandpa!" and a card that from the front looked like one of your everyday birthday cards however when opened it stated something along the lines as Happy Birthday Grandpa! We placed our first sono picture at the top and broke the exciting news to him and the rest of the family. You would have thought Debbie and Terry just won the million dollar jackpot. They were crying, laughing, and even screaming. We got a real good laugh when Debbie stated "Is this a joke?" because she had been hounding us for sometime for a grandchild. No, it is not a joke and out came a scream.

On February 19, 2007, Brent and I ventured to our second doctors visit. We were so excited! We get another sono picture today to update the old one that was taken 4 weeks ago. We hoped that we would be able to see more features of the baby and yes we did. In the last 4 weeks, I had gained some weight....I am not disclosing that information because it was A LOT. We no longer had to keep quiet about the baby because now even just telling the family yesterday the entire town already knew. I was 10 weeks 2 days along and already having trouble fitting into some of my pants.
