Sharing the News!

Jon and I had so much fun sharing the news we were pregnant! Blake and Addie were the first to know. We called them the Saturday after we found out and asked them if they wanted to meet us at Bass Pro for a little shopping. We were going to wait until after our dr. appointment, but we couldn't wait any longer! We got there a little early and found a baby shirt that said “Daddy’s Little Fishin Budd” and we put it in our cart. When they came through the door we walked up to meet them and Blake noticed the shirt right away. He said Addie already suspected something was up!

The next day we told my parents. We made bandana’s for the dogs to wear that said “Future Big Bro” and “Future Big Sis.” We took them to the bedroom and put their bandana’s on and then let them run into the living room. Dad said, “Aww, how cute, they got new bandana’s.” After another minute or so I finally said “Why don’t you read what they SAY!” Once they did they were VERY excited! This will be their first grandchild!

Dwayne and Brenda came to Van Alstyne one night to “see our new tile floors.” That is what we told them to get them down here so we could share the good news. When they got here, we gave them a picture frame that said Grandparents and inside I made a sign that said “Coming Soon! April 2010.” We celebrated with dinner and then called everyone else on Jon’s side of the family.

Mallory and TC came into town for dinner one night and we went to Spaghetti Warehouse with my parents. I gave Mallory a card about being an aunt. We wanted to make sure she got the hint because we have called her Aunt Mallory since we’ve had the dogs so we had to add a little to the card. We signed it “Baby Enlow” and added “P.S. See you in April.” I don’t think she got it until she read the P.S.


The next day we all went to my cousin’s house for Blake’s birthday celebration. Mallory made a shirt to wear to spread the word! On the front it said “You Can Call Me…” and on the back it said “Aunt Mal.” We were probably there a good 15 minutes before Aunt Gail asked Mal to help her get something out of the car. As she was following Mallory out she noticed the back or her shirt and the baby bottle patch. All we heard was “OH MY GOSH!” and they both came running back in to show everyone else. It was such a fun day.

Jon and I had a blast telling all our friends and family about our new little bundle of joy. I am amazed at how much we already love our baby and we feel extremely blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family members who share our joy! Check back Wednesday, we are hoping we have news about the sex of Baby MonJon!
