So up until now, we have kept our little secret to ourselves. It's been fun, but we've had a few close calls with friends and family asking questions and you know me, I can't keep a secret. Thanks Mom for passing on that trait to me!
We decided to tell my parents over Easter Weekend and man did we knock their socks off! We headed down to MB early on Friday afternoon for dinner. I made up a little card, that read Happy Easter and had the ultrasound photo on the inside. Over dessert we shared the card and it took a few minutes for them to catch on. Sara & Craig were in Charleston, so I gave them a quick phone call and Preston heard the news a little later when he finished up at work. We really surprised everyone!!
It was really hard for my mom to keep her secret at church on Easter Sunday, but she did it! We wanted to share with Lee's family first, so I told Mom to keep it in the vault for at least 1 week.
The next weekend we were off to Florence, under the pretense that we would be helping out at Hobnob during the flower show at the Farmer's Market. We stopped off first in Darlington to see Lee's dad and MaMa. We gave Charles his card & photo and he was really excited yelling out WooHoo! Getting time with Suzanne was a bit harder. We waited ALL day for some time alone and when she opened her card she though it was a big joke. After 5 or so minutes of explaining everything and promising it was the truth, she fell out in her desk chair!
A few phone calls over the weekend and following week...we had the family covered. We are so excited and blessed knowing that we have a lot of support behind us! We love you all!
