Oh how I miss my best friend! He is TDY right now and I can't wait for him to get home. :) Here's a fun video of my handsome husband.

Every time my Diddy (Dad) gets excited about something, he has this special laugh. It's a quiet Hee hee hee! When I graduated high school and college, as well as when I got engaged, he did this laugh. There was no exception to us telling him we were having a baby. We gave him his "Get Well" present (he had back surgery a couple of weeks before) and he did his special laugh. I said,"Diddy, did you like your get well present?" His response, "Hee hee hee, yes!" My mom laughed too!  It was such a fun moment to be able to tell my parents in person!
Here are the pics from us telling them the news.

My husband and I made a trip back home to tell our families about our fun news. We could have called them, but then I wouldn't have fun pictures like these.
I'm sure almost everyone has seen the video we posted on FB. If you haven't seen it, here it is again.

I love videos, but there is nothing like a picture you can print off and have in a frame. I took these while my husband was recording the video.

The Lee Family's priceless reaction:

There were several friends and family members we couldn't travel to see, so what other way to let them know we are having a baby than to send them mail. I'm sure normal people don't think about mail all the time.... like me. I send mail EVERYDAY. If I had to make a list of my hobbies it would have to include sending mail.

Here's the packages ready to be sent in the mail:
Some of them included popcorn:
 Tea:
 Hershey Hugs & Kisses (I ate several before I put them in the mail):

Sometimes I have to sit back and realize that God has a sense of humor....if you don't believe me, hang out in our household for a little bit. And He always has to remind me that He is in control of all things even when I try to be. Another lesson I learn every day is that His timing is PERFECT. You would think that I would have learned these things already, but what can I say? God has his hands full with me.

All that to say, that I knew I was pregnant a day before I told my precious husband. I wanted to make sure before I told him. I was a little bit in disbelief to say the least.
My husband had a rough week at work (we take one day at a time around here). So, when this happens I usually get him a little something. Most of the time it's Legos or a Captain America toy. lol! But not this time. I wrapped a Louisiana Tech onesie in a bag (A Captain America bag, I might add), and told him I got him a little present. The only thing out of the ordinary is that I wrapped it. But how fun would that have been if I would have handed a onesie and said here's your present. Plus I needed some time to catch his reaction on the camera (picture taking while opening any present is not out of the ordinary in our home).

Stephen: Awww.... what's this for?
Me: I know you've had a rough week, so I got you a little present!
Stephen: You wrapped it?
Me: (keeping my mouth shut) Just open it!

 Then after realizing that the onesie was meant for a baby that was in my tummy, he got excited! lol!
