Breaking the News

It is funny too look back now and think how long ago it was when I told Greg I was pregnant with Morgan.  For those who don’t know the story – her is the brief recap….

It was a cold/snowy day and I had found out that morning that I was pregnant.  Greg has a pack with me that I will never tell him over the phone if I am pregnant.  So, honoring his word (like a good wife should) I kept it to myself and planned to tell him when he got home.  I put together a really cute powerpoint of pictures of us as kids, equipped with a great accompanying song – One Boy, One Girl.  Much to my dismay, Greg work 24hours that night and didn’t get home until 9am that next morning!  He finally found out that morning, was ecstatic, then passed out for the day.  How romantic:)

This time, I wanted to do things differently.  I actually planned on him working late OR getting home early.  Either way, I was equipped with a plan.  My primary plan was to have Morgan walk out with her BIG SISTER shirt on…cute right?  My second plan was to stick a message in the shower with Morgan’s bath-toy letters.  This was incase he got home when I wasn’t…..I was 100% not ready for what happened next.

I had just organized the letters in a stack so I could spell them when I was done taking a shower (moisture on the walls helps).  All of a sudden, I heard the floor creak…. “Greg?”  He was HOME!  Wait – it was only 10:00am!!!! AND I AM IN THE SHOWER!  CRAP!  He had forgot something at home and was going to use the restroom before he left.  I quickly, frantically, stuck the message on the wall.  I finished showering and asked him to say goodbye to me….just then, he saw this:

Broke News to Dad

Well, at that time I didn’t know I was due the 19th – I hadn’t gone to the doctor yet.  But it was the thought that counted, right?

Alas, I was proud of my quick recovery from Greg almost RUINING the surprise again!  I love you Greg….and you too Morgan….and mini-me:)

You are so creative! Casey honestly didn't believe that I was pregnant until we went to the doctor. I tried to break the news in a cute way but I just ended up mad :)

That's pretty cute.

I'm really excited to see your baby picture cause I've always thought Morgan looked like Greg. Funny though because most people think K looks like Collin - but he actually looks Just Like Me as a baby. So I totally get it! :)
