Living and Loving Life in the Heartland

Tuesday, May 1, 2012

Thought I would do a quick post.  However, nothing is really that new.  I am going to tell my parents about my pregnancy this weekend.  If anyone wonders why it is taking so long to tell them, the reason is I really wanted to tell them at an 'event'.  So on Friday evening I am hosting a shrimp boil at my house for my dad's birthday.  So I wrapped up a present for him that is a picture frame with a saying that says something like "Great Dad's Get Promoted to Grandpa" or something close to that.  Then I put a picture in it that is my dog with the note around his neck that says "I am going to be a big brother" (I posted the pic earlier if you remember) So he will open it in front of my brothers and grandparents.  Then I could not tell my mom (they are divorced) yet because she can not keep a secret...and I didn't want to ruin the event announcement.  My mom lives really far away so I did the same thing (the frame is the same except replace grandpa with grandma...I bought them both at Hallmark so they are similar...my dad is burgandy and my mom's is white.)  I mailed the package today.  I paid for priority shipping and they said it is suppose to arrive on Thursday.  So hopefully the secret can be kept for one day.  (my mom is not good at keeping secrets, so I am worried about this)  I wrote in the card to keep it a secret for now, but she won't keep it.  So hopefully in one day it won't get to my dad.  Actually I would be ok if it didn't arrive until Friday.

So there you go.  After Friday I will be free to tell anyone I want whenever I want to. 

I have been so busy lately I can't wait to have a rest day.  It probably won't happen for a while...this weekend I will be helping my cousin with her wedding invites. 

Pregnancy related items: Public bathrooms have been making me gag.  Also, my stomach is very warm to the touch.  That is really the only things going on with my body.

Talk to you later.
