I've been waiting for this post! I'm mad at myself for thinking nothing of you having three pumpkins this year, and also not giving any thought to your Christmas cards this year! I missed all the little sneaky hints!! I loved that you let the cats guess the gender too 😀 fun post! I'm going to read through it all again now!
ReplyDeleteOh and two more comments... Loved the raspberry in the ultrasound pic! And in the first picture I thought u were holding the pee part of the test sans the caps! Haha! Looking forward to more pregnancy posts!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this post! It is really just starting to sink in my brain that you are going to have a baby. I was so unsuspecting!!! Love the ND onesies and love that your baby shoes are in your announcement. Like Haley, I missed all the clues. And to think you are approaching your half way point! So excited to think about this little one. Love you! :) Mom
ReplyDeleteI love reading these posts. I can't believe you kept the secret so long! My affinity for alcohol calls me out immediately. Lol.
