We started the grill and hung out outside. The excitement was killing me! I couldn't wait till they opened their presents and learned they would be grandpas in 2010.
Even when they opened their gifts, my dad still thought it couldn't be. He had a look like, "very funny.. ha ha" as if we were just teasing them. (It has been the case that we tease them we won't give them grandkids.) I said, "We're having a baby in January!" and I'll never forget the look of shock on Maria's face. Everyone was overjoyed.
The rest of the afternoon was a great celebration with everyone sharing horror stories of pregnancies and birth. Something that seems to be the favorite topic of conversation I've noticed around newly-pregnant women. Luckily I've felt very good so far.
