Start Spreading The News

It was tougher for some than others, but everyone kept their mouth shut. Sierra really had to try not to tell anyone. We decided Thanksgiving, which was the end of the third month, was a good time to spread the word. Great grandparents were called, and Great Grandma Leeser was happy for us. Great Grandpa's predicted response was "How 'bout that." Fitting. Trev was told when he came into town. It didn't take long before horrible name suggestions started spewing out of his mouth. We know they weren't real, but really, Bertha? Mike called his family in Chicago and talked to aunts and cousins, spreading the good news person by person. Mike's other side of the family all gathered together at cousin Tim's house. We arrived and made our announcement. Gammie had a bottle of champagne ready for celebrating (except for me). She could finally not worry about keeping the secret. Thanks a lot Dan for introducing Mike to Angry Birds on the iPad. Mike and I were happy to celebrate the first trimester rolling to an end with only one bout of morning sickness. If you don't count the flu that I swear was brought on by that stupid flu shot. Poppy was given free range to spread the news with his sisters. I guess I should tell my principal at work before it shows up on Facebook and spreads through the staff. Mike will be happy to share the secret with some of his coworkers as well.
