Our plan to share the news with the Stiles was to wait until our family birthday dinner on June 6th. Everyone planned to be there to celebrate Rick & Kathy's birthdays, and we thought this would be the perfect time to share our good news. However, once we told my parents, waiting another week & a half seemed like a REALLY long time.
So, when we got a phone call asking if we could have dinner on Friday (June 1st), we immediately agreed to attend! Dan & Kayla were both going to be there, along with our good friends Preston & Rachel. We all had a wonderful dinner together- Rick got to test out his new grill! We sang "Happy Birthday" and had some delicious cake. And after dinner, we gave them our gifts. We got Kathy a pair of sweet little white baby shoes with little grey bears. And we got Rick a baby Cubs hat! Of course, we got their reaction on video. I love it!!
It feels so good to finally have our news "public". We're still waiting until our second trimester to really publicize things. But we it's good to have all of our family in on the secret now. Everyone has been so excited and supportive. Our baby is already so loved & cherished. I cannot wait to meet him or her!
