Saturday, March 6th was the day of my birthday party. We had been thinking about the day for weeks before, and on the day of, our nerves were certainly getting the best of us! With all the excitement of the announcement, I hardly thought about my birthday even once. I did however get spoiled with my birthday gifts! I not only got the movie UP that I was wanting, but everyone pooled together to get me a new laptop! So I am now navigating through my computer at the speed of light! It is so much nicer! Plus it has a built in webcam so when I'm home with the baby, I'll be able to stream live videos of Pickle to my husband while he's at work! It's perfect!
Anyway, the time came for the cake. I grabbed the video camera and sat so I could catch our parents' reaction. They all sang happy birthday as my husband brought out the cake. He set it down in front of them and there was a sudden silence in the room as everyone gasped. "Are you trying to tell us something?!" "Are you seriously pregnant?!" The questions started popping out. "Yup...it's for real! We're pregnant!" Everyone erupted with squeals, jumping from their seats to come and hug us. The response was perfect! Everyone was so happy and excited, congratulating us as the news sunk in. We then brought out the pictures of the ultrasound and confessed that we had been planning the pregnancy for nearly a year now. They seemed truly surprised.
I am so glad that everyone is so happy about it and so supportive. It feels so much better to have it out in the open now (although I still have to wait until the end of this month before telling my co-workers). In some ways, now that everyone knows, I'm a little more nervous again about being sure the baby will stick around for the full term. But I know in my heart...Pickle is here to stay!
As one last side note, I also wrote a new song for Pickle. Someday I'll have to post the lyrics. :)
Happy birthday....it's a Pickle!
