Happy First Grandparent's Day Mom!!!!
5:46 PM Edit This 0 Comments »
So about a week ago I emailed my cousins Jay and Kelly to see if they would help me surprise my mom by telling her I am pregnant on Grandparent's day. She has been nagging me for a grandchild for about 12yrs now! HAHAHA Well she of course is out of town on Sunday (actual grandparents day) so we had to improvise some. So I emailed Kelly my ultrasound picture and had her print it off and place it in a nice little frame: (so imagine instead of a baby it my ultrasound picture of the little gummy bear)
Then I had her put a note on it that says "Grandma, I'm coming April 2009!" Love Troy & Angela.
Well my mom needed to stop at their house to pick up some medications (jay is a drug rep). When she got there they were "playing" with their new video camera. She was telling them she was just notified that she got the job she really wanted. Well about that time they had a gift for her. (she was thinking it was a new job gift). When she opened it she found the frame and the note. But hey why am I explaining this to you, when you can watch the video!
She then called me as soon as she found out (4am our time!) and squealed away at me! Needless to say she is VERY excited! HAHAHAHA And already planning her shopping sprees.
Next I tried to call my Grandma--but she wasn't home.
Then I called my Aunt Linda! She was very excited as well and promises to knit us a few knit shorties/longies/legings for our future little one! Strange thing is her daughter Sara was saying 2 week earlier that we really needed to be pregnant soon, so I hear her yell in the background "I knew it!". It was pretty funny. After talking awhile with them we said goodbye.
Then I tried calling Grandma again! Nope not home----and people thing Grandmas never go out on a friday night! HA Not mine! So I told Linda and Mom NOT to tell her yet because I wanted to. And I will try again in a few hours. I mean a girl has got to sleep sometime! (updated!--Got to tell her Sat morning her time! She is super excited!)
But one last call before I do.....I called my Matron of Honor/college roommate-Brenda to let her know also. She figured since I was calling at 5:30 in the morning my time I must be preggers! And she knew we had been trying for awhile also-so she had an unfair advantage!
Everyone gave us tons of love and congrats! I couldn't have asked for more, it was great!
And for all the other people who knew earlier-THANKS for not talking and spoiling the surprise. We tell Troy's family tomorrow and then its public knowledge so you can talk all you want starting Sat afternoon!
My favorite grandmother quote--and so perfect for you mom~
A mother becomes a true grandmother the day she stops noticing the terrible things her children do because she is so enchanted with the wonderful things her grandchildren do. ~Lois Wyse
