Guess What?

Mia is going to be a big sister!!!!!!!

I wanted to wait until after her birthday party to announce it because I wanted to tell my mom in person.  I'd actually hoped to tell a lot of our family at once but not everyone was able to come.  It was so funny how the news came out.  I had bought Mia a t-shirt that says, "Big Sister In Charge".  I put it in a gift bag as one of her birthday presents.  When we were getting ready to load everything into the car and go to her party, Mia said, "Mommy, can I please open one of my presents?"  It was like we had scripted it or something.  I told her sure and handed her that gift to open.  My mom, Rachel, Zoey, Shayna, and Kaylee were all with us (Wesley included) in the living room since we were about to leave.  Mia opened it up and held it up in front of her.  I told her to show Mimi her shirt.  When Mom read it, she started crying and said, "You always do that to me!"  Haha!  I loved it!  I love pulling one over on my mom.  I surprised both of my parents when we told them we were pregnant with Mia, too.  You can read that post here.  Everyone is really happy.

I should also put on here how I told Wes because, of course, he found out before anyone else.  I didn't think I was pregnant, but in order to stop wondering if I was, I took a pregnancy test.  I guess I shouldn't have been shocked when the digital readout said pregnant but I was still surprised.  Wes didn't even know I was taking the test, so I snuck the camera into the bathroom and took a picture (of the display portion only!) of the test.  I loaded the picture onto our computer and set it as the image for our desktop.  I then pulled up the Internet and pretended to be frustrated.  I asked him to come check iTunes and see if he could figure out why a certain album I'd bought wasn't downloading.  I sat down on the couch, and he went to look at it.  He said, "I just bought you that Adele album.  What are you downloading now?"  When he sat down at the computer, he said, "You don't even have iTunes pulled up!"  That's when he minimized the screen and saw the picture of the test on the desktop.  His head snapped up and with a startled expression on his face, he said, "Hey!  You tricked me!"  It was awesome!  We're both really excited.  My due date is September 5th.  I hope this pregnancy goes as well as when I was pregnant with Mia.  So far, so good.  :)
