Evan and I fell heels over head for each other the moment we laid eyes on the other & knew we're going to spend the rest of our lives together in bliss- but that doesn't mean that we should "try" to have a child. We weren't by the way, it just happened to be and we are as ready as you can be in the first trimester.
It was important to Evan and I that I told my parents in person. One reason, I need to vent to someone & who better than that special someone that shares the same genetics as you. The day before I left for Philly, my mother and father were arriving back from their cruise to Alaska. I was instantly greeted by "Oh Honey! What's wrong with your skin?"
I was eventually called out by my mother. Even though I was petrified, I was prepared for this. I bought some baby onesies and wrote a poem on a card. I had no idea what was about to happen.
She opened the card first and- cried. I didn't know if it was a good cry or a bad cry. Hell, I wanted to cry. I asked what it meant but she decided jumped in my arms and continue to cry. She was speechless but my father, not seeing the card, has no idea why my mother just burst into tears was now opening the gift and to put the two together. Finally, after no readable reaction- both parents sharing a huge smile, lots of excitement and pure happiness!
I wasn't expecting this from them, not in the least. But it really showed me how others can see what we have, true love.
