Crazy Day

Today was a crazy day. We spent the night at my parents because were going to their ward in the morning. My cousin Jordan got back from his mission to Washington. Its so cool to have him back. He had a great talk, Hayden braught a friend who has been struggling with her testimony with the church. I really felt the spirit with Jordans talk, great job JR. When church was over we went to the Yates house for the lunch in.

When we finished socializing and what not Chris and I left to go to Aubris first birthday party. It was so cute. We got there just in time to see her finish opening her presents. Then we got to see the cute cake that Tara made and see Aubri dig into it. At first she was shy but she got into it after a bit.

We got home and Chris kept saying can I go get a pregnancy test for you, I really feel like you are. So he did and I took it when he got back. To my surprise it was positive. We had been trying to get pregnant for almost 9 months. It had been one of the hardest trials I had had in a long time. I coudnt believe it was finally happeneing. So of course we drove back out to my parents. I was pretty sad that my dad was out of town but I knew I would spill the beans if I didnt tell my mom right then. Our plan was to put a present on the door and doorbell ditch them. It had two shirts and the pregnancy test with a card. It seemed nobody was home so we went threw the garage. Stockton was down stairs and mom wasnt home yet.

So we just set it on the counter knowing that was the first place she would see when she came inside. Hayden came home and still no mom. Both boys were weirded out that we were still there but I didnt tell them. I promised mom she would be the first to know. Mom finally came home so Chris and I went onto the deck to watch her reaction threw the window. First she saw the card infront of the present, then she peaked inside. She saw the test and already knew it was us. She quickly opened the letter and started to cry. She grabbed her phone and started to call us but we knocked at the deck door. She gave me a huge hug. The two shirts in the bag said "call me grandma" /grandpa. The boys came in and heard so we immediatly called dad. He guess right when I said guess what daddy. Mom insisted that we go tell my grandparents.  We went into their room and and I pulled out the test and said you may want to see this. Grandma gave me a big hug and behind her I could see grandpa start to cry. Everyone knew we had been trying for awhile so they were super happy for us. We didnt want to tell anyone else until the family christmas party. However as we were leaving I could see my mom walking down with her grandma shirt on to tell Teri. I told her our idea and she said " but I already have my shirt on" so we let her. Then she went up to the Yates to show them so we followed. It was pretty cool to see all of our support. A few days later we decided to call all of Chriss family because apparently my grandma already told Uncle Bobby when they went to get his truck. We told everyone that we didnt want to find out from someone else. Im just glad that its finally happening. I hope I am a good mom.
