I knew something had to be up because I had been very tired and achy. I am very consistant with my monthly and it had come and gone so I knew, knew.
I waited until Friday night to tell Benjamin the big news. I went and bought Emma Claire a "I'm the Big Sister" t-shirt to unveil the news. That night we were meeting Benjamin at Applebees for dinner so I dressed her in her shirt and put her coat on over it; thinking Benjamin would take her coat off as soon as her saw her. After about 45 minutes of waiting in line and playing at the table he finally took it off. I had been videoing Emma Claire doing something funny so it was perfect. I asked him to take her coat off, but he refused. He said that he was enjoying her playing with his hair at the moment. What?!?!?! So... I just left the camera running. I don't think he knew I was still videoing. After a minute he took her coat off and read the shirt. "Are you Pregnant?!?!" He was soooo excited. Right now I believe the due date will be around September 18th unless the doctor changes it.
On Saturday, our niece was having her birthday party in Mississippi so big thanks to our brother and sister in-law they let us share the news with them then. We were talking to everyone at the party on the webcam and then held Emma Claire up with her shirt on. They Screamed. Everyone seemed very excited.
On Sunday, I let Emma Claire where her t-shirt to church over her dress. (After I washed it, of course) It was very funny because no one read it. Benjamin had to announce the news in church for everyone to know. They were all very excited and had been asking for weeks when we were going to have another baby.
It has been very fun sharing the news with everyone. A quick story, even before we explained the whole baby thing to Emma Claire she knew. On Saturday we were sitting on the couch and she started rubbing my tummy and saying "My, baby". It was so amazing! I know that she is ready to be a big sister.
Please pray for our new baby growing inside of me, and for Emma Claire. I want to make the most out of the next few months that I have with she and I. I love my baby and I want to make this the best transition possible.
