How I found out!!!

As most of you know finding out I was pregnant was very exciting for Scott and I. I had recently had a miscarriage and we had been trying again for 2 months. It was the morning of Thursday December 4Th and I had been a day late, honestly I was never late so I kind of had an idea. Scott had asked me the night before about being pregnant and I made him think I wasn't. I didn't want to get our hopes up and felt if I said I was late it wouldn't come true. I know it's crazy to think that way but when your trying you think all kinds of crazy things. So, back to Thursday morning...I was home alone and decided to just take the test. It was positive not even a faint line complete positive. I immediately called Scott and I think pretty much shocked him. I then called my sister Randi Lynn to tell her and then my sister in law Jaime. The next thing I did was make a doctors appointment for the next day. The exciting thing was that my Mom was giving me a Birthday party at her house on Saturday so I thought it would be a great opportunity to tell everyone. I did though have one dilemma, my friends at Ren Pub were going out with me on Friday to celebrate my Birthday. I couldn't tell them before our family so I had to lie and say my mom switched my party to Friday. They threw out other dates to reschedule but I kept on coming up with reasons I couldn't go. From t.hat point until the three weeks I waited to tell them it started a talk around the office if I was pregnant again. So, when I did tell them they were excited but said "we know".

So this is how I told my family. My sister was getting me a cake from Mandeville Bake Shop and came out with the idea to put a King Cake Baby in the cake. She had to put it in herself and we decided to give the piece to my Dad. When it was time to sing Happy Birthday I was shaking so nervous and so excited. We gave my Dad the piece and watched his every bite until finally he pulled it out of his mouth. He kept on saying "why would they put a king cake baby in a Birthday cake. Randi said she knew what it was a...."Baby Corne". Patti was the first to figure it out and started screaming. It was a very exciting moment. Of course I looked at my Mom she was so excited, shocked and crying. It was one of those moments you will never forget.
Scott and I were very relived to share with our Family and Friends the great news!!!!
