We Finally Got to Tell My Side of the Family!

After three long weeks of keeping quiet (which was absolute torture) we finally went to Holdrege over the weekend to tell the Coxes and Buettners! I'm so glad I don't have to keep it in anymore! It was especially hard to talk to Laura and Andy and hear about their pregnancy woes-I just wanted to say "I know what you're talking about! I'm preggo too!" But I had to wait, I love to see surprised faces! Dad walked right into it when we got home on Thursday night. He was just then giving Laura and Andy their congrats card (even though he'd known for almost a month-hmmm, I wonder who I get my horrible procrastination from :) ??) Well, our scheme was to have him read a congrats card that he thought was just for Andy and Laura (which it was of course). So I handed Andy and Laura their card and gave Dad his and told them I just forgot to get them in the mail. I made Dad read his out loud. So he's reading this long congrats poem, then at the bottom, I added a little poem of my own. It said "They say being a grandparent is such a joy and a treat, we sure hope so cuz you will be twice in one week!" He read the last part like he was asking a question-it didn't quite register at first! But Jenny got it right away, so I'm pretty sure the screams gave it away! :) Then we told Grandpa Buettner and Grandma Cox. They were pretty happy too. Grandma kept saying how "exuberant" she was, and of course, she started stopping people in the hallway right away to start spreading the news! It was a fun weekend. I'm definitely turning into a party pooper though! I can't stay awake past 9:30! I'd say the fatigue has officially kicked in!
