Dear Baby,
We had dinner with your Grandpa and Grandma the other night. You wouldn't believe their reactions!
Your Dad made the big announcement, since they're his parents. And he was sly as an ole' fox about it. During a lull in the conversation about their most recent vacation to Jamaica, he looked over at me, squeezed my hand and smiled conspiratorially at me, and then turned to them and said,
"Sooo.... we're having a baby!".
Their reactions were priceless.
Your Grandpa just sat there and got the biggest, goofiest grin I've ever seen on his face! He was smiling so big and so long it's a wonder his mouth muscles didn't start aching!
And your Grandma, well, your Grandma did the complete opposite of what we were expecting - she was shocked into utter silence! See, she's been expecting you for awhile, baby, and so were sure that as soon as the words were out of our mouth she'd be a hollerin' and hootin' and jumping up and down like there was nobody else even in the restaurant! As it was, she was silent as the wind, and she got this completely shocked look on her face, her eyes got all big and she covered her mouth with both hands, she was so shocked! She's usually a very chatty lady and to see her completely at a loss for words was, we figure, an even bigger reaction that what we'd been expecting from her.
I guess it's safe to say that they're really excited to meet you, baby.
Love,
Mommy
