Today we told the parents that we are expecting. It felt so strange driving over to tell them. As if we were sixteen and going to get in trouble.

Although the bandana idea was adorable, it made them hard to read by the way they folded on the dogs. My mother in law screamed and hugged me, and continuously jumped up and down so ecstatically. She cried when we left. My father in law congratulated us and was happy we told them.

When we walked over to my parents, I had my mom come outside and my dad was already out. My dad paid no attention to the dogs but my mom saw it right away and gasped and mouthed asking. I nodded but told her to wait until dad saw it. We had to hold Luna still to read her bandana and his reaction was, “nu huuuuh, no way!” And he was grinning from ear to ear.

Lastly, we went to my sister in laws. Where we got her to read Nyx’s bandana and she asked if we were expecting. She’s super excited that we are expecting at the same time.

All in all, everything happens for a reason. I’m so glad that I have the village I have to support us. Friends and family.

This coming week, it’s time to tell close friends… I have just the shirt for that.
