Telling the Parents

This week we shared with both sets of parents our BIG news! On Thursday, Nathan and I stopped by the Ridlehoover's pretty late after a softball game. We were there about 30 minuets before Nate got the courage to tell them that we were going to have a baby! They were both extremely excited and jumped up giving us hugs. On Sunday my parents came in town and we were able to share our news with them too! I had bought a book for my mom called "Someday". It's a book about a mother who has a baby and how she grows up and someday will have a baby of her own. It was the perfect gift! First, I gave them a card and my mom opened it and it took her a little while before she said, "No your not!" over and over again. My dad was clueless for about 3o seconds...then when the lightbulb finally went off, he was speechless and teary eyed. All weekend long dad kept saying, "I can't believe my baby is having a baby".

Gain wisdom from everyone but know that your pregnancy and birth and child will all be one unique experience that's yours alone! I can't wait to hear all your updates on the coming weeks of pregnancy! cherish each week... even the bad ones because they go by so fast and each are so special. Keep blogging!! you'll be so glad you did. Love you guys. Casey Chappell
