Baby! 7 weeks

Today we got the first mug shot of the baby-to-be! Heres the first photo! I guess technically it's the first photo of the first photo.

I see arms and legs but the ladies say they're not developed yet. They say the baby is due on Thanksgiving. How Cool!

Two Rings To Rule Them All!

Ok, I know the title is super-geeky. But it's the truth. Jenn and I picked out rings today.

Jenn and I went to the jewelers to find an engagement ring that we both like. We (mostly Jenn) were swarmed by two ladies, and Jenn tried on almost all the rings. Right before it seemed we were settled on a ring, another ring caught my eye. The second Jenn put it on I could tell that she liked it too. It was slightly more expensive, but it was a perfect balance. Being certified and in a platinum setting, we were sold on the discounted price.

I found a tungsten faceted band that I had seen online previously. After looking through the other choices, I was certain that I wanted that particular one.

Tellin the Folks, Part 2

Today I (we) told my parents at their house. They knew something was "up". We then told my Grandparents and Aunt at a restaurant during dinner. Why not tell everyone at once! Jenn was about to have a panic attack, ha.

"You know your Great Grandparents." said Jeff slyly
"Well thanks." said Pop-pop as he shook my hand

"No, you are a Great grandparent." said Jeff again
"What do ya want." snickered Pop-pop
"You're going to be Great grandparents!" clarified Jenn

"Ohh... Ohh... Who's having a hound-dog?!" asked Pop-pop, haha, I love that man.

Telling the Folks Part 1

Today Jenn (we) told her parents. Her dad was in the most shock, and had to sit down in the car (maybe he just wanted to leave, ha).

"Be careful!" said Jenn as she waved to her parents
"Ya'll be careful too... wait... too late." said Daddy Connell

New Developments!

I get a phone call from Jenn to come to her place as soon as I can. It wasn't really an urgent message, but I could tell that something was up.

I knew it before she could tell me. She was pregnant.


Found out that Jenn and I were going to be parents. Told the parents and grandparents over the weekend.

On Saturday, Jenn (we) told her parents right before they left to vacation to the desert, death valley.

On Sunday I (we) told my parents at their house. They knew something was "up". We then told my Grandparents and Aunt at a restaurant during dinner. My grandmother began sobbing and my mother followed.

'Who's having a hound-dog?!" asked Pop-pop.
