Slowly spreading the news...

We've started telling a few close friends and family about the baby. We figure these are people we are going to want to support us no matter what happens.

The first person we told was my friend Cheryl. I've know Cheryl since I was 9 and it was so much fun to tell her since she knew I'd be testing soon. Cheryl and her husband Dan are moving back to Seattle next year, and I promised her we'd try to have a baby before they go - I always try to keep my promises ;)

Next, I told my friend Daniel. He's another person who knew we'd been trying and he's also moving back to Brazil next week, so I wanted him to be able to share in the excitement for as long as possible.

I told my best friend Jen over the phone while she was on her way up to visit Seattle. I was planning to wait until I went to LA next week to visit her, but this news is way too big to keep from her for a whole week. She's excited for us and excited to go shopping for the baby (Shopping is definitely what we do best).

Finally, we told my dad. Again, we had to do it over the phone since he doesn't live near us. I wanted to tell him in person, but I thought it would be fun to tell him before Father's Day. He was at a restaurant when I called and when I told him he said "We're gonna be grandparents again" to my step-mom. I could hear everyone in the restaurant congratulating him. He was happy and told me it was the best Father's Day present ever. My nephew Tyler is 15 months, so I'm sure he'll be excited to have a little cousin to play with.

We're planning to tell Matt's parents today (Father's Day). It should be fun since this will be their first grandchild.

Oh and just because I still couldn't believe that I'm actually pregnant, I went out and got a digital HPT this morning.

Yep - Still pregnant!

And I'm still excited over here in Brazil, it's a shame I'm missing the fun!
