The great day of posting!

One more topic and then I have to get to work... telling the Moms'.

What a stressful event this as been... Richard and I talk about it all the time, debate about tactics, hum and ha about presents and timing... it should be fun - its not.

My Mum is easy... I planted a pear seed  (hopefully it sprouts soon) and intend on giving her that with a card I made (below).

She is already 'Grandma' so, although she will be over the top excited and probably cry, its not like its her FIRST grandchild. She is already Grandma no question about it.

And for Pete (my father in law) we ordered the smallest motorcycle boots we could find...

... because we always talk about getting our baby on a bike at 3 years old. Pete will connect the dots when we show him the little tiny boots (which are possibly the cutest thing I have ever seen). He is going to glowing with excitement and I can't WAIT to tell him.

And for Liz

My Mother in Law

...

We have no idea. That's not true... we have a million ideas, but we also know she is kind of hard to please and we don't want to spoil her moment, because of the details. We're Pregnant and that is all that should matter, but we also don't want her to spoil Dad's moment (he tends to get lost in the shadows, because of her overreaction to most things). We can't put 'Grandma' on anything, because she refuses to be called Grandma (this is a long, on going battle). So we're stuck... its upsetting that a moment that should be so happy is being over taken, but ridiculousness. So, we decided to get Dad his gift, let him react and she will have a card... so she can react. It's not about the gifts anyways. And we're all geared up for the tough questions (I refuse to fight the Grandma battle on Christmas day) with 'Enjoy the moment, we'll talk about that later' end of discussion. Locked and loaded.

I hope we're wrong... I hope we're just planning for the worst and in actuality its going to be a joyous moment without any heartache or headaches, but we've never been that luck in the past with my dear Mother in Law.

Stay tuned...

Love!

PS - Once the parents know... its no longer a secret! Yay!

PS - I am nervous about some questions, because they (Liz) will be offended they weren't the first to know and that we waited to tell them, but we thought a Baby as a Christmas present is the BEST THING EVER. It is, afterall, all I have ever wanted!
