We decided to keep our little bundle of joy a secret for the traditional 3 months to make sure everything was safe and sound. But man, it was a LONG 14 weeks! We promised each other we would not tell a soul until our parents were informed. We were so excited to share the good news - we were counting down the days!
We were able to gather up almost all the Hancock side to meet in Milwaukee for a Brewer game. We got our tailgate on in the parking lot and everyone was gathered around when I asked Annie if it would be OK to invite one more person to her wedding next July. Being the sweetheart she is she replied yes, never suspecting I was referring to a baby. So I had to drop another hint -"this person will need a high chair". One by one the Hancocks processed what they just heard and there were tears of joy. The rest of the evening was a blast - the game was really fun and the Brewers even won!
We didn't celebrate Father's Day with Dad West, so we thought that would be the perfect excuse to get together to share our news. We had the West side over for pizza (from Grandpa Tony's - very appropriate). We had fun talking at dinner, but the whole time Chad and I couldn't wait to tell them! After the BEST dessert I ever had (brownie with ice cream and raspberries - a pregnant woman's dream) we gave Dennis his "Fathers" day card. He first noticed the ultrasound picture of our tadpole, but didn't make the connection. Then he read "we really mean Happy Grandfathers Day!" He looked directly at me - "You're pregnant?!!!" They were shocked and happy! Its so fun making your parents grandparents!
