Upon our arrival at my parents house yesterday dad and mom both made several comments about how when Wendy arrived she placed something by the kitchen sink. The first time they made the comment it sounded odd, so I just kind of thought, “ok, so Wendy put something by the sink”. But after they had both made the same comment multiple times it was obvious that they wanted me to go see what Wendy put by the sink. Of course mom followed me into the kitchen, and I saw a baby bottle by the sink with “Grandbaby #13, March 2015” written on it in puffy paints. So I said that was pretty cool, and Kyle and I talked about it later while we were getting ready for bed.
Tonight since we had all of my family at my parents house we decided that it was time. While we were having ice cream after dinner, Kyle picked up the bottle and took it to Wendy and John and said “Actually it should say grandbaby #14”. Wendy looked confused and said that she counted right, but Kyle insisted that no, it should say #14. Wendy finally got it, and asked if we were expecting too. There was mass confusion as everyone caught on and was in complete shock. Mom just started laughing, and Wendy had to verify that I was in fact farther along than she was. I said that I’m 16 weeks and I’m due in December. Everyone was in shock at that too. Tom wanted me to lift my shirt so he could see my belly. I refused to go that far. But I did hold my shirt tight against my belly to show the outline of the small bump that is there.
So this is an official announcement, announcing that baby #8 is on the way. Our baby #8 will be grandbaby #13 for my parents and grandbaby #12 for Kyle’s mom. 🙂
