So I told my parents on Wednesday the 17th. DH was in California. But, I just had to tell them. I couldn't keep such a huge secret from them. So I got two sets of booties (pink and blue) and two bibs. One said "I Love Grandma" the other "I Love Grandpa". So I got this shopping bag walked into the house and said oh you have to see these really "cute shoes" I bought. So they are both there...Mom grabs the bag....she looks in and jumps back...like there was a mouse in the bag...she takes out the booties and says "Oh my gosh how cute, who gave these to you?" I said "Seriously?" She says "No, really who gave these to you, the RE?" Now I laugh..I look at my dad who is smiling and obviously gets it already. But, he doesn't say anything and lets it sink in for her. I say "Mom look at the thing under the "shoes" ie the bibs...she grabs one and says out loud "I love Grandma". She looks up and says "No! Are you pregnant?" I couldn't even get the word "Yes" out. I just nodded my head she hugged me and we both started bawling. (My parents know all about our struggles).
Then DH came home on Friday morning. We told his parents on Sunday the 21st. We would have told then sooner, but we wanted DH home so we could tell them in person. For them, I got two bibs. One said "If Mommy says no, Ask Grandma". The other said "Rockstar". A bit of a backstory. DH's dad was in a band for a very long time, and he always wanted to be a "Rock Star". So we kid him all the time about how he thought he was going to be in the Rolling Stones. So very funny/appropriate bib.
So I put them both in a bag. DH handed his mom the bag and said "Melissa and I got you guys this gift". She digs in the bag. (She loves presents). She pulls out the "If mommy...bib" Same reaction..."No! Seriously! OMG!" Meanwhile his dad didn't see the bib and says "What is going on?". I start laughing like crazy, and she lets him in on what's going on.
So everyone is very excited. FYI DH and I are BOTH only children. So obviously this announcement was HUGE for our parents.
