It’s hard to not tell people that you’re pregnant. Elise had to tell her Weight Watchers group because she won’t be attending her monthly meetings for a year. That’s okay, we don’t know any of those people.
Today was Steve’s (Elise’s dad) birthday. We had originally planned to tell my parents the news of their new grandbaby this weekend because we’re going down there to celebrate my dad’s birthday (which was yesterday). We talked about it and decided to give Steve a surprise birthday present by telling him that he was going to be a grandpa.
Steve and Joanne were excited. After Elise “babbled” and we eventually told them (I say babbled because Elise was very nervous – it was funny…) I talked to Steve for a while. He said they had been nervous recently, wondering if we were ever going to have a child. I didn’t know this but Joanne’s side of the family has a history of having problems carrying a child to term.
I think they have just been anxiously waiting for news of their first grandbaby. I’m happy someone finally knows!
I’m starting to have questions. I went to WebMD.com and started reading up on what to expect when expecting. I’m not going to inundate myself with too much information. I’ll limit myself to the basics in my own time. I’m sure I’ll learn plenty from Elise.
