The Cat is Out of the Bag

Today is the day we decided to let the proverbial cat out of the bag. Many factors have lead us to this decision 4 weeks before we had initially planned to make the announcement. First, Grandma Lorraine will not buy the "ate something bad" excuse for too many more days of feeling sick and will come and start cooking for us soon. Second, most of Jen's regular clothing no longer fits and shopping trips with Grandma Lorraine have been increasing and increasingly awkward explanations about not needing to pick up anything will not last much longer. Third, we did not want friends from Sunday School to figure out that we were expecting before the future Grandmas and Great-Grandmas got the big news (we want to live to see 30). Finally, Grandma Mary will only have a first grandbaby once and needs to start preparing early and Great-Grandma Jennie is just itching to have another baby around now that David is 3. So, by the end of the day the news will be out and you will have been emailed the link to this page so that you can all keep up with the minutest details about the first Obreiter pregnancy.
