Telling Joe

Joe was coming on from Texas on Thursday. Do you know how hard it is to keep a secret like that....for FOUR DAYS!!!!!!???? Somehow I did it. Whenever we would talk on the phone, I wanted to scream it. I wanted to tell him....but I really wanted to do it in person....so I would wait patiently. But....I had a secret :)

When Joe came home Thursday night, I was ready. I took the pregnancy test and put it in an envelope that I had made to say "Top Secret". I punched a hole in the envelope and put a ribbon through it. I then waited until I saw Joe pull up and then tied it around Hank's (our dog) neck. When Joe walked in of course Hank was waiting for him. I was sitting on the couch with the camera....waiting.

Here is the video. I actually took 2 but the first one is just him walking in and asking what was around Hank's neck. I told him it was a present. At the beginning of the video he is feeling the envelope and guesses that it is a toothbrush.

Joe was really excited!

Then we took a picture together....Can you see our excitement?

We can't wait to be parents.
