Last Friday (2/13) John and I had one of our good couple friends (Kyle & Bethany) over dinner. Kyle and Bethany have become good friends of ours. John and known Kyle since college and when Kyle started dating Bethany her and I hit it off and have become good friends (she is also a nurse and we share several similarities). We had tentatively planned to go on a couples trip with them in October. Obviously God had other plans and wanted us to become parents in October instead. :) Our friends were very surprised yet excited! We'll soon share the news with the rest of our group of friends.
Saturday (Valentine's Day) we went to John's mom's for dinner. (Back story: John's mom wanted to go on another family vacation so, we are going o NYC for 3 days over Memorial Day Weekend.) John decided to get his mom a card thanking her for taking us on "our last family vacation as the 4 of us before the baby arrives" and signed it from the 3 of us. Her initial reaction was pretty mild. She looked at the card and looked at John, then at me. She then asked if she was allowed to get excited as she was in disbelief from John's word (he tends to cry wolf a lot). We told her it was true and then the screaming, hugging, and hopping around began. We told John's brother, Mikey later that night and he also didn't believe John. :) It wasn't until Mikey got confirmation from me that he knew the news was valid. Needless to say John's mom and brother are very excited!!
The news was also shared with John's step-sister, dad, & step-mom throughout the last week.
Needless to say, everyone is VERY excited for Baby Leach and many claim they've been waiting a long time for this news. :)
Lil Leach is going to be one spoiled baby!
