When we told my family about Bubba coming my mother burst into tears and couldn't stop! We decided to save our news for our Kroeker family Whistler trip. Cam was intent on getting cigars for the boys so I insisted on getting my mom a board book. On it I wrote: for my Omie, love your grand baby coming April 2013. When we got to whistler, after an incredibly horrible drive up for me which involved fish n' chips, nausea, brothers deodorant smell and very strong smelling mint gum. The front desk at the hotel invited us for a free drink and appies at a mixer and if you know my family we never say no to free food and booze. So we had to tell our secret sooner than planned cause if I wasn't drinking the free booze then there would be some raised eyebrows!
I came out of my bedroom with the book behind my back and announced that I had something to give mom. I handed her the book and she started to read it out loud. When she finally realized what it said she looked up and was like "wha?!" I then said "yes! I'm pregnant!" She then burst out in tears, dad had the biggest smile I've ever seen and my brothers were beyond words! Cam handed out the cigars (which they smoked our last night out there). I had to admit that Cam was right to save our news for the trip even though we knew weeks prior. Hardest secret to keep!!
Since then we've told friends personally and went public after our ultrasound. The amount of love and support has been incredible! We are so blessed by everyone who is sharing in our joy. My good friend Amy was in tears the other day telling me that my pregnancy is making her so happy! My mom has had friends crying when she shared the news! My auntie Lori was in tears when we told her and our good friend Dave made sure I knew how happy he was cause he knew the surgery, pain and uncertainty that came before this little one.
My brothers are even experiencing their own celebrations with people giving them overwhelming congrats! My best friend Nantina is showing off my ultrasound photo to people like a proud aunt should! My grandpa told me that it's about time!!! Hahaha... So THANK YOU! To everyone... every single one of you who have shed tears, given us hugs, came over with gifts (kailee!), said congratulations, made me dinner (twice, Alissa), and loved us through the journey to get here and will be there on the day of to help me get Bubba out (Kortney). YOU'RE the best!! And we love you!!!
