Sharing the news with family!

1/24/14: Finally, the day was here and we could share our BIG secret! Mommy was so excited and anxious that she didn’t sleep much the night before! She just wanted everything to go exactly as planned. Mommy wanted Auntie Nina to hear the big news, too so she was trying to get Auntie to commit to a time to answer her phone when Mommy called. Mommy and Auntie were texting back and forth and Auntie said, “are you preggers”. Mommy responded with, “I will talk to you later.” Again, Auntie said, “You are preg.” Mommy just ignored Auntie's text because she wanted to make Auntie wait to hear with everyone else. The party started at 6:00 and Mommy was getting anxious because Grandpa Clarence and Grandpa Mark were late! Mommy just wanted to hurry up and share the big news! Mommy asked her friend Holly to videotape the news, but sadly the video camera did not work and Mommy continued on with her news and no recording of it! L. Mommy and Daddy stood in front of everyone and Mommy heard people shouting out different ideas of why we were standing there, “You’re having a baby” and “You’re pregnant”. Finally, after everyone calmed down, Mommy started her little speech. Mommy thought she would be able to get through the announcement without crying, but of course Mommy was so happy that she teared up right away. Choking out her words, Mommy said, “Everyone knows that we have been trying to get pregnant for a few years and it has been very hard, but we are FINALLY pregnant!” Mommy was crying really hard! It was hard for Mommy to talk! Everyone started clapping and cheering. Grandma Judy barely let Mommy finish talking before she jumped up and gave Mommy a hug and said she was happy for her! But then Mommy said, “Wait there is more.”  Mommy heard people shouting out, " it’s Twins!" Mommy then said, “We are excited for our family of 3 to grow to 5 in August.” Mommy heard everyone gasping and talking. Mommy looked over and Grandma Judy was counting on her fingers! Afterwards, Daddy told Mommy that Grandma Margaret and Aunt Kim were bawling their eyes out! Later on, Mommy found out that Grandpa Clarence had called Great Grandma Jarnot and told her! Mommy wanted to tell Great Grandma the next day but Grandpa already spilt the beans! Mommy called Great Grandma that night to tell her she wanted to come visit the next day. Great Grandma said she had been praying every night for “Jenna and Neil to welcome a child into their lives.” Then Great Grandma said, “But I never asked the dear lord for 2!” Mommy laughed and really liked that comment. Grandma Judy called Great Grandma Jonas that night and told her, too. Great Grandma Jonas said she wasn't surprised! Grandma Judy texted her friends and sisters and Mommy got a few texts that night and the rest of the weekend, congratulating her and Daddy and saying prayers would be said for our angels!
