We'll Take Care Of You

On February the 15th I hung this in Sonny's room and waited on him to find it!

The caption read "Dear Dad..."

He was in and out of the room at least ten times and spent an hour sitting in there working on building a rod before he saw it!!! I just sat in the living room with the T.V. and light off just waiting for him to find it! I was so anxious for him to see it! I think the three days I waited to tell him was less nerve racking then the hour I waited for him to find the onesie! 

When he finally found it  he came into the house holding it. All he could say was nuh-uh, nuh-uh, nuh-uh.... I'm pretty sure he said it 15 times before I ask him if he wanted to see a test because I had three of them!!   We spent the rest of the evening googling pregnancy week by week! 

With the exception of my sweet friend Lindsey who gave me tons of advice and clothes! 

We kept baby Hovatter all to ourselves for 12 weeks! Before we decided to share the good news!

The Friday before Easter we went to dinner with Erica, Jordan and D.J. (We missed Whitney he was coming home from out of town!) After dinner I gave them a picture of Baby Hovatter that said "Will You Be My Aunt?" They were so excited and Erica immediately called Mrs. Jan!

I also send my sweet friend Julie in Birmingham the same picture!  Baby Hovatter will have the best Aunts! 

The next day I had arranged for my Aunt Michelle, brother, sister, and nieces to celebrate Easter at my parents! Sonny and I brought eggs filled with candy and one "special egg" that they just assumed had money in it! Shelby found the egg. After hunting the eggs we were all on the back porch and no one was really studying the eggs. Krista pulled the egg out of Shelby's bag and opened it! Her face was priceless! She said "Are you serious?" I assured her it was no joke and she read the egg out loud. I don't remember a whole lot after that because everyone attacked me. Except that my mom (who was recovering from hip surgery) screamed and I swear she jumped! I really thought she was going to pop a stitch! 

On Easter Sunday we told Sonny parent's once they got into the car to leave Mamaw's. There were about 50 people there for Easter and I could just couldn't tell that many people at once! 

I chickened out on Monday but on Tuesday I shared our news with my sweet work family! Well actually I told about three people and Kim told everyone else for me!! 

Up until this point I have been cool and calm as the weeks fly by! 

The big reveal is next Tuesday the 29th at 8:00! As of today I am officially beyond ready! 

Less then a week now! 

Stay tuned as we prepare to add another Hovatter to the mix!!!
