Big sisters

So we told the girlies this weekend that they are going to have a little sibling. :) It was quite cute actually. We got home kind of late on Friday but we couldn't wait to tell them the secret so we told them then. On our way home Rick told the girls we have a big secret for them that we'd tell them as soon as we got home. Well of course that is just torture to little girls. haha! We barely made it in the door before I thought they were going to burst from not knowing. We sat them down on the couch and gave them the adorable shirts I got them (you'd think I'd have remember to take a picture of them wearing them, right? Wrong!). Victoria's said, "I'm going to bee a big sister again" with cute picture of a bumblebee on it. And Gabby's said, "I have a secret" on the front and "This little monkey is going to be a big sister" on the back. Victoria read both of them over and we asked her if she knew what it meant. She figured it out right away and started to answer and then for some reason got spooked. So we explained it to both of them and they were pretty excited. Victoria, being the typical over-thinker/worrier/analyzer she is, started with the questions. She wanted to make sure the baby was going to have a place to sleep first of all. Gabby then suggested the baby could sleep with her. haha! And then resorted to letting the baby sleep in a bean bag chair on the floor so she wouldn't be woken up.

The next day we had to go to a wake luncheon for one of Rick's relatives. It's one of those families that always has a good time no matter what and even though everyone was sad for losing Gram, everyone was still in a great mood talking about all of the fun memories. So we had the girls wear their shirts that day to kind of let all of his cousins know. They were all very excited for us. They all kept asking the girls if they want a boy or girl. Victoria, without a doubt, wants a little sister. Gabby has decided that she wants both. haha!

We told his brother and SIL and then called my cousin and his best friend so they didn't find out from someone we had just told since we are all in the same circle. Then this weekend we are going to tell my grandma and my grandpa. We were going to have them down to my parents' house this weekend for dinner to tell them and as it turns out it's turning into a pretty big affair. My cousin and her husband are in from Cincy and since I'll want to see them and they'll want to see Grandpa, they are going to be coming down too. And it's her brother's (my cousin as well, obviously) birthday so they are coming too. And then my dad felt bad for his sister's family and my mom's sister's family for not knowing so he's also invited them. We may end up with a group of about 20 people before it's all said and done. So typical of my family :)
