Eventful Weekend

We went to Houston this weekend to tell Rocky's mom, Darlene, that she is finally going to be a grandma.  We put a picture of the sonogram in an "I love Grandma" frame and had her open it.  Excited does not begin to describe her reaction.  She has been waiting on this for a long time.  After we broke the news she couldn't wait to tell the neighbors, who are close family friends.  For the next few hours, text messages and phone calls ensued.  I received a texted saying Daddy wanted to call Darlene so I passed along the number and they had a nice chat about who would be keeping the baby on what weeks and who should be called what.  It was pretty cute.

The next day we went to visit Kellie, Rocky's cousin who just had a baby.  Rocky never holds babies, but Kellie insisted so she could get a picture.  I don't think he enjoyed it much, but it was really cute.  After about 3 minutes, he looked at me and said, "Okay, I think I'm done." 

Rocky broke the news again to Kellie and Nana while we were there.  Nana, of course, began going on and on about how she didn't think we knew what to do.  It was too much for my poor pregnancy hormones and I informed her that we knew perfectly well what to do and that we are on our own time table, not hers.  I let her know we are happy with the way things are working out and this is exactly what we had planned.  OMG that woman drives me nuts! Later, I called her crazy and she smacked me, but I guess I had it coming.

After all the excitement, I needed to fill a few people in also.  I didn't want my friend Kimi finding out I was due three weeks before her wedding (which I am a bridesmaid in) on facebook.  So, I sent her a picture of the sonogram and said "guess what you are getting for a wedding gift!"  I was a little worried, but it was for nothing.  She was very excited and called Gina at 8:30 that morning in her excitement.  So now we just have to find a bridesmaid's dress that is flattering on a post baby body.  That should be easy. 

So now it seems that the cat is out of the bag.  We didn't quite make it to 12 weeks of secrecy which was the original plan, but what do you do?
