So, after what seemed like forever I finally got to tell my family tonight! Eric and my grandparents were supposed to land at 4:45, but of course their flight had to be delayed. They didn't end up getting in until about 6:45 and then we still had to do dinner! It was pure torture and Brittany kept texting about how excited she was which just kept making me more excited. Devin, my mom, and I were at dinner before the others so it gave us a chance to scheme and plan out how it was all going to go down. When we would tell, where to sit, who to get on camera, etc.
After dinner, which took forever, we came back to the house for Christmas! My mom and I were the ones that were handing out presents so we made sure Devin got his new video camera early so he could have it all set up and we made sure that my 'revealing' present was set aside until the end. I was trying to hurry everyone along, so we could tell them! Well, we eventually got to the end and I opened up a present from my mom which was a maternity shirt that said "Future Cardinals Fan with an arrow pointing down" I knew what it was and laughed and said awesome, then turned it over for everyone to see. My grandma read it and said "Future Cardinals Fan" and then paused, you could see the wheels turning, and she said "Are you pregnant?" You can hear Rachel loud and clear though and she says its because she was the one closest to the camera, but in reality she was just the loudest one! Sorry, Rach, but it is true!
Well I am off to bed!

Woohoo!! Sorry I made you more anxious with all the texts but I was excited for you to finally get to tell someone :)
I can't wait to see the video! Hopefully you guys get it figured out. If not, I wanna see it this weekend!! Hey... maybe that would be a funny way to tell Patrick - just have him watch the video of you telling your family?
The video is great! Glad you got to capture the moment. Good planning on the reveal too... gift order, etc. Can't wait for everyone to know so we can start talking about it openly! I didn't think it would feel like such a long time to keep a secret, but I'm dying to have everyone know!
The video is awesome! You DEFINITELY have to bring the video camera to Christmas to get reactions - that is so cool to have :) And Thanksgiving is going to be so hard tomorrow to keep quiet because I'm so excited for everyone to find out!!!
Great Job on the video, shocked at first but wow!
Wow!!! Yep, You really got me and I am SO excited to be Great Grandma again. You know how I like to rock and spoil the little ones. You have to keep me posted on every little thing since I am down in Florida for now. Congratulations again! I love you very much!! Nana
