After Martinsville I couldn't wait to tell my dad and stepmom but I had to wait until Kip was home from work which wouldn't be until Thursday. I wasn't sure I could handle sitting at work all day on Thursday thinking about telling them that night. Luckily, Kip came home from work early on Wednesday night. I told him we should go on over to dad's that night so we could tell them. We did the same thing to dad and Steph as we did to mom (hid the pictures in the stack of cheerleading pictures). Dad got to it and said "Prego like pregNANT?" They were very excited... we called Stephanie's mom and their good friends David and Connie to tell them the big news! So exciting!
The next night we went to my MeeMaw's house, Kip's aunt Lenore's house, and my dad's aunt Jackie's house to share our news. We continued sharing the news with our family and close friends throughout that weekend. We were invited to a party at Kip's step-sister's house the following week and I sent her a text that said "Me, Kip, and the bean will be there." She of course wanted to know who the bean was and Kip told her it was in my belly. I hated to tell people by phone but I was getting impatient and we unfortunately didn't have enough time in the day to visit everyone.
My mom's aunt and uncle were on a cruise (unfortunately there was also a hurricane happening at the same time) and we had to tell them before we could make it Facebook official! Because of the hurricane, they were a day late getting back in town. We waited until Kip was home from work and they were back from their cruise and headed to Vinton to tell them. Once they knew it was time to post it online!
Needless to say we didn't make it until 12 weeks...I was 10 (almost 11) weeks when we shared the news with everyone.
