February 2015, There's a Bun in the Oven

As soon as I got in my car, my head was reeling.  I couldn't help but cry, laugh, repeat.  The joy inside was more than I could ever explain.

Just then, I received an invite for dinner from a close friend.  It was as if everything had fallen into place.  I shared the news with my friend as I asked for her help in making my plans run smoothly.  I would bring everything over to her house on my way home and go meet Joshua at the house as he got off work.  Then, we would drive to their house together, none of the evidence in sight.

I called Joshua to check his plans, and somehow managed to keep my composure. 

Then, I drove to a nearby bakery to pick up a sticky cinnamon bun, one of hubby's favorites, before getting some of the final touches at hobby lobby.  Being a "regular" at hob-lob, one of the employees asked if the stickers I was hunting were for me or someone else.  Maybe it was the sheer glow of excitement that gave it away, but I couldn't help but burst out in emotions in the middle of the aisle.

"We're having a baby!"

After checking out with all my supplies and once everything was strategically placed at the MC's house, I made the drive home to get Joshua.  I tried to contain my excitement as he quickly got cleaned up and we drove over to dinner.

Halfway through the prep-work, my sweet friend mentioned to Joshua that her oven hadn't been getting warm when she was cooking earlier that day (Oh, I should also mention that my hubby was her builder for her new house, so this would definitely be something she would bring up).  As Joshua reached for the oven door, we quickly snatched up our phones to record the precious moments that followed.
