Roommate

So Kyrie has some news to tell, she gets to be a big sister. We are expecting this new roommate around Sept 2nd and IT'S A BOY! We are all very excited. We finally shared in on our secret with family last week. I hadn't been feeling well, acually I was pretty sick and things just didn't feel right, so I didn't want to tell anyone for awhile - then I finally told Chris! We then decided it would be fun to wait and tell my family while we were in Blanding. The kids were told to keep it quiet and it was nearly impossible for Dusty. When my sister Joni came a few weeks ago she figured it out right away but Dusty didn't know that, and he kept saying "what if she finds out about the baby?" Jo did a good job of keeping it a quiet for 2 weeks until the rest of the family found out, and my parents were AMAZED that she kept it a secret. When we got to Blanding, Dusty couldn't contain it anymore, he kept getting after me to tell my grandparents, so we finally did. The next day my sister Sherin and her family came and Kyrie was wearing her big sister shirt, and Mark asked me about the shirt. I am not a very good actor, but I tried to tell him I just shop on clearance, and picked up that shirt one day, and my weight gain was because of my struggle with my hoshimotos thyroiditis and my thryroid levels had been very low (which can cause a lot of weight gain). He didn't believe me, I need to work on my horrible acting skills. A few hours later my parents got there and I thought they would find out right away, either by looking at Kyrie's shirt or my bulging belly. But Kyrie was terrified by all the people trying to talk to her that she stayed glued to me which hid both my belly and her shirt. My mom mentioned that I looked like I had a tan, and clever Mark told her it was because of my thyroid. I was taking a drink at the moment, and tried to keep from bursting with laughter and choked on my water! It was an awkward moment, so I left the room and sat on the couch and supposedly my grandma told my mom to go look at Kyrie's shirt. I didn't know what to expect from my parents when they found out how far along this pregnancy was! My mom was kinda sad that she didn't know before, and my dad was just mostly surprised that Joni could keep her mouth shut! Then my mom found out she had called me while I was in the hospital getting my cervix stitched up because of my incompetent cervix, and was upset that she didn't know about me being in the hosptial all day and night. But think of how we saved her from all that worry!! Actually being in the hospital was like a vacation for me. I never thought I would enjoy staying in the hospital, but it was really nice. I had a break from kids - AND CHRIS HAD TO HAVE ALL 3 OF THEM for a whole day! That hardly EVER happens! The hospital staff pampered me, I had a very nice room in the delivery unit and the food I ordered from the menu was so yummy!! I have already planned when I have this baby, I will definately order their garden vegetable pizza, it was SO good! So see mom, there really wasn't much you missed out on worrying this time! ...I also want to add for the memory of it, Hayden's kindergarten teacher brought dinner over for my family for when I got out of the hospital. It was so unexpected and very nice of her. ...We had the formal ultrasound last Friday and it looks like baby is forming properly and that we need to pull out the blue baby items. I was really hoping for a girl so that Kyrie could have a sister. At first I was a little disappointed, but I'm over it now. When we were expecting Kyrie, I really wanted another boy - and got my little girl! Ever since she joined out family I have wondered why I was wishing blue. Kyrie has been such a joy, so much fun, I am so glad I got my girl! She was just exactly what I needed - what our whole family needed. And I am sure it will be the same with this little boy, he will fit right in! After we got the ultrasound done, we sent out text messages to tell our families, and Chris's family still hadn't heard we were expecting. He sent, "It's a boy" and within seconds his mom had called. He told her he thought for sure that she knew, that he had told his sister Kim a couple of months ago, and he was sure she would've called her mom instatly with the news (which she would have). Chris let his mom go on for a few minutes on how mad she was at Kim, and then he finally told her Kim really didn't know about it. Chris thought it would be fun to keep the pregnancy a secret until we had news about the delivery of the baby, so maybe our families weren't too happy with us last week, but at least they know now! We are excited!
