Ok, my side of the family officially knows!! FINALLY we don't have to keep it a secret from them. We stayed here in OKC this year and spent Thanksgiving with my family. We went over to my parents house in the morning with a copy of the same letter we used to tell Michael's parents. When we got there, my sister and brother were both still asleep, but we couldn't wait to tell! We weren't there for 10 minutes before we pulled the letter out and gave it to my parents. Once again, we had a lot of hugs and crying! After telling everyone else, we spent the day eating and relaxing. It was perfect :)
Although our families know, we are still keeping this somewhat of a secret until December 10th. At that point I will be almost 10 weeks, and we are scheduled for an ultrasound that day to make sure everything is ok. If there aren't any concerns, we'll start telling everyone we know!
We did break our own rule last Sunday and we went ahead and told our church small group. We just couldn't keep if from them anymore! They have become some of our closest friends and we were so excited to share the news with them :) Once again, there were lots of hugs and some crying, which is becoming very common for us :)
We're so excited for the ultrasound on December 10th. As long as everything is ok, this will officially become the UN-Hidden Baby Blog!
