After hearing the great news that I was going to be a grandpa around Nov 21 of 2010 I was instructed bt the expecting parents to keep it quiet for a while and don't tell anyone. Jessica had just had a close friend find out she was expecting only to lose the baby before the first trimester. So to make sure things were good before we blabbed to the world the news, Jessica wanted to get by the first trimester before sharing with anyone (just in case). We understood her train of thought but how hard was it going to be to NOT say anything to anyone? We met every Monday with our Bible Study Group and so wanted these people praying for the situation but kept our promise until the given date, June 29th (the next Dr. visit and ultrasound).
Finally the day of the Dr. visit came. Jessica was to see the Dr. around 1:30 and let us know ASAP. Then when all things were good, we could tell everyone the news. I was excited in wait all day. She said I would get the call first since mom knew ahead of time about the the baby before Easter. About 2:30 or 3:00 in the afternoon, I was delivering mail curside in my truck when the text came. I was so excited to see "It's a girl" I didn't see that a picture was attached. I went back to work and about 1/2 hour later I thought I needed to look at the text again. It said 1 of 2 so I scanned down and there was a picture of the ultrasound and our baby Z.
I had a couple hours left of work but had decided I would post the picture on facebook as soon as I got home. I finished work, got home and went straight to my computer, excited to share the news!!! As I pull up my facebook I see Baby Z FIRST THING!!! Natalie has internet access at work and can download mobile pics so had shared the news with most people I know. Oh well, it was still exciting. The word was out. Now to share with everyone possible!!!!
