OK, so the long awaited “How I told Joel” post. I found out I was pregnant in early May. I had to resist the strong urge to tell Joel right away because I was excited. Due to the fact that Joel usually keeps track of where I am in my monthly cycle, I had not been able to surprise him with news of a baby. This time I decided to keep it a secret until Mother’s Day.
We traveled out to my parent’s house for a Friday through Sunday stay. Joel was going fishing with my dad, grandpa, brother, and brother-in-law. They were gone all day Friday and most of the day Saturday. It was easy keeping a secret when no one was around 
. I went out and bought 2 onesies, a pink and a blue. I got a gift bag and wrote a little note and put the pregnancy test in the bottom of the bag. I waited until Mother’s Day Sunday to give him his “gift”. Here are a couple pictures…
Joel was a little bit surprised to be getting a gift on Mother’s Day, but I told him I could not possibly wait until Father’s Day to tell him. He kinda sat there a second after taking out the onesies, note, and test. He got a little teary-eyed, and told me he loved me. Awww. I was glad to be able to surprise him. It made a fun event that much more fun!
Just wanted to say Happy Father’s Day to all the dad’s out there, and I am thankful for my dad! I think my husband is a terrific dad and I am happy to celebrate God’s blessing of Fathers in families! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Awwwwwwww….that’s my boy!
You are a snip! Way to surprise him!
