Telling the Family

Not so exciting but essential in the discovery of Madison Grace....

Oh the family...

I would be lying if I said I wasn't jealous of all the attention my sister got when she was pregnant and had Ms. Carly. 

The first family I decided to tell were my grandparents.  My grandfather was having his big 8-0 birthday party and I wanted to wait until after the party as to not take away from him and this giant milestone.  Well with all the facebook posts and the secrets some of my aunts wanted to know if Sarah was pregnant so I had to tell my family.  I didn't want to tell anyone in my family until I told my grandparents.  So I called and talked to Tia.  I told her I was pregnant and that I wanted to tell her and grandpa before telling the rest of the family.  She told me that grandpa was unavailable but she would tell him and that she was happy and excited for me and how it was a blessing from God.  She asked if Michael and I had talked about marriage but that is a different blog post so stay tuned...other than that I felt relief for not being judged.  Don't ask my why I thought I would be judged but a big feeling of relief came over me and I knew that everything would be ok.

Oh the Aunties...

The aunties were and are still in love with my two neices and would it be the same with me is all I could think about.  They already were getting excited about Sarah being pregnant again or Sarah winning a trip or or or...it was time to break the news.   As hard as I am trying to remember what the converstations were,  for the life of me I can't remember what was said.  I do remember my cousin asking if we were going to get married now...ummmm again this will be a different blog post...I do know that they were/are super excited about welcoming another great neice into the family and I am sure that once they meet Madison Grace they will love her as much as they love Taylor and Carly.

Telling Michael's Family...

We called Michael's kids the night we found out 100% I was pregnant to tell them.  They never answered the phone and have never answered the phone still to this day.  So his children had to find out through Myspace and Facebook.  This is horrible but it's what happened and to this day I am saddened that we were not able to tell them personally.  Michael has never been close to his mom or dad  but since finding out about the baby the relationships that have been forming are truely a work of God and I am thankful that I could help heal those realtionships.

Stay tuned for the next installment of our changing world....
