So while we were in Michigan, we decided to tell the brothers since we won't see Mike in person until Christmas and we aren't sure when we'll see Eric and Cathy since they are moving to Turkey at the end of August. Mike and Rachel came into town early Friday morning so on Friday we were hanging out by the lake and Chris gave Mike a beer with an "Uncle Mike" sticker on it. Then Eric and Cathy came in Friday night and Chris gave Eric a beer with an "Uncle Eric" sticker. Everyone's very excited. Being so early in the pregnancy, though, it's a cautious excitement.
On Sunday, before flying back to Denver, we went to a Jubilee celebration for Aunt Sister Joan's 50th year with the church. She has been praying for us a lot about getting pregnant, and when she looked me in the eye and told me she was still praying for a baby, I told her to pray for the baby's health. She got tears in her eyes and said it was the best Jubilee present.
I am anxious to tell my parents, but my mom is out of town until the 24th so we can't tell her until Sunday. We decided we wouldn't be able to wait until August after all. As for telling my dad and Lynne, Lynne leaves for a two week trip to Kenya this weekend, so we'll have to wait until she gets back. I'm hoping to tell my brother and Britney soon, too. Of course, I want to tell everyone else, but we really want to be sure so we're going to wait a little bit longer.
