New Daddy and Mommy!

On Monday, July 20th at 5:30 AM, I asked Paul if I could take the pregnancy test. He said go take it wanting to sleep a bit more. I did my thing then covered the test up so that we could look at it together. A few minutes after six I asked "Can we look at it now?" as anxious as can be. His reply, "Kate, your getting a little crazy." I slithered out of bed and went and got the test. I brought it to the bedroom. Got all nice and cozy next to Paul and took the tissue of the test. Two pink lines stared at us while we stared and smiled as each other. "I'm going to be a mommy!" Paul was ecstatic as was I. Now we had to go off to work with our BIG SECRET! Some people are better at keeping secrets than others! Just kidding, but seriously Paul had so much going on in his brain he had to release to his boss, Mel. Paul was defiantly in more of a shock than I. I thought I was pregnant because it seemed different this time, but in Paul's defense I always think I'm pregnant. When he told Mel, Mel replied "We are going to have a little Paul or Paulette running around here." At that moment Paul had just realized it could be a girl too! But given our families overwhelming amount of males we think we are going to have a boy. None the less we just want a healthy baby.

As for the parents Shaun and Mary were excited. I had present for them because we didn't spend mothers and fathers day with them. On Thursday, mom opened her frame with a picture of Paul holding my belly and a bump ahead sign. "I get it, I get it." mom said. Dad opened his gift and of course a book for him, "Grandpa Rules." "Okay, okay....(looked up at me) Really?" We shook our heads yes. Congratulations came and we left to go tell Dave and Deb. It was the day before Deb's birthday and Dave's birthday was on the 4th so we didn't see him either. We had two gifts for the each of them. First the birthday presents...then the grandparent presents. Deb opened her bracelet box to find a pregnancy test inside with a note. Thinking it was a joke because she was turning 45 she opened the note saying, "Happy Birthday Grandma!" She Grabbed the table, jaw dropped, wide open eyes "Ahhhh... Oh my God! Your pregnant!" Poor Dave didn't even get to finish looking at his gift before he knew what was going on. We bought Dave a shirt saying "ONE BAD Grand DAD." It was perfect. Dave congratulated Paul in private. Both are ready to become First time grandparents! Now we still had to tell Kevin and Kelly! Saturday we went on over with his fathers day gift. (I know we were a bit last on the fathers day stuff, but I had a baby shower that day, so things didn't really work out, but in a way they did!) Kevin open up a picture frame that said, " Grandchildren are the link to the future. Grandparents are the link to the past." Kevin in a pause, Kelly went to look over his shoulder and said, "Kev, I think their trying to tell us something." Both looked as us and we said yes. Both loved the frame and the little onezie cookies I had made by the lady that made our wedding cake. It was a great end to a perfect week!
