Out with it!!

Okay, so, I said earlier today I would post later...it's later.





Tuesday Derek and I found out that we're going to have a baby!!! :) Our first anniversary hasn't even come yet....but here we are! Now mind you, I'm only 5 (technically 3) weeks along, but since Derek will be leaving soon, we decided to go ahead and tell people. That and I'm fully confident that I'm going to have a wonderful full term pregnancy (as long as someone gets me some info on what I shouldn't be eating! lol). We are so excited, but the thing we were most excited for was to hear our parents reaction. Derek's sister Kelly is going to have her first child any week now so Derek's parents are pretty excited with her, so when they found out about us, I think they were a little "oh no, not again-ish" but VERY excited still! I couldn't see their faces when they opened our package, but I did get to see my parents! :) My wonderful sister who helped me plot and orchestrate the whole surprise went over to their house, spun a web of lies, risked her place in heaven for me, and got pictures!!! What a wonderful day!





I'm so excited to share these pictures! They make me giggle a little every time I look at them! Thank you SO much Rita!

It takes her a while, but she gets there. Apparently at this point she'd already seen the bibs that said"I love grandma" and "i love grandpa"

I love this picture! look how happy they are! It's their first grandchild!

when she called me. I really expected a call at like 5, but didn't get one until like 630!




These are the shirts Rita designed and I made. Mammy and Pappy, apparently that's what we're going to call them!

And here's the back of the shirt. Cute! Right?

So, it's been a really exciting night in the Goebel home. We talked to both sets of parents, Derek's brother and sister, and our entire bible study, mostly! It's so fun to tell people when you're expecting a child! Words can't describe it. And to see the looks on my parents face just makes it that much more amazing! :) I can't wait to update you on all the goings on as the pregnancy progresses!!
