Update Update!!! Parents Reaction!!!!
Sooo the album did get to my parents house today!! I was on the phone with my best friend and I had just told her I was Pregnant and sent her pictures and everything...(we had been talking for hours) and all of a sudden the caller ID read "home" and I was like ahhh here it is!! So my hubby ran over and we put it on speaker phone and it was my Mom and she goes "Gina..." I'm like "Hi Mom" and she goes "I got the album today" and I said "uh huh did you look at it" and she goes "Yeeeeeeeeessss and it says the best is yet to come Feb 1, 2009, Congratulations Grandma & Grandpa" and I go "Yup" and she goes "I'm going to be a grandma!!!" and I was like "YES FINALLY" And she was sooooooooooooo beyond happy and excited! She was like ahhhh oh my god I can't believe it!! She just asked me every question in the book...how far along I was, my doctors appointments, how I was feeling, if I was showing, when we can find out the sex...everything! My hubby & I literally talked to her forever! My lil brother, sister and brother in law were all there and they found out too! Unfortunately my dad was away (visiting family since his mom just passed away a couple weeks ago) but my Mom is going to call him and tell him and he can see the album when he gets back. But OMG when I tell you she was esctatic!! The excitement in her voice made me want to cry! She was like ohh I get to go out and start buying all this stuff now! So we talked and talked...and it was great! Hubby & I were so excited! Every Sunday my Mom and all her siblings and most of the grandkids go to my grandmas cottage on the lake..its a family thing we've always done. I haven't done it in years since I live so far away but my Mom is going this Sunday and asked me if she could bring the album and show the family. And of course I couldn't make her wait any longer to tell them so we said YES! So she's so excited to bring it and let her mom and all her siblings know she is going to be a Grandma! She is just so proud :)
So by Sunday like my entire family will know! And my inlaws should get their album tomorrow, so I will keep everyone posted on their re-action! Their going to be just as excited!
And on another note...my best friend (the one I was talking to today) funny enough is an Ultrasound Tech and she wants me to come visit so she can give me a SCAN! It's like a 9 hour drive for us, but we really want to go home and visit family and friends so everyone can see me when I'm Pregnant. And by the time we visit I'll be 13 weeks and she said they've told moms the sex of their babies that early before!! So she said she may even be able to tell us really early what we're having..and not only that, I'll get to see my baby again and not have to wait until my 18 week scan! So I am just beyond excited about this!! And it just feels so good that my Mom finally knows and we can all celebrate and be happy about it!! Ahh such a fun time!

Yep, its all sooo exciting! My Mom called me AGAIN today, she's super happy!

My aunt (who is one of my best friends) will be getting the pictures I sent her on Monday too, so I can't wait to hear all their reactions!!

Yep, it's our first! We've had 2 M/C's in the past 9 months, but this will be our first baby and the first Grandbaby on both sides! So it's very exciting for everyone! :)
Still waiting to hear from the in-laws...they could get it today! But I leave for work at 1:15 so I'm hoping if they get it today, they get it before then!

Aww thanks everyone!!! Supportive? Ha! My mom has been begging me to get Pregnant since I met my husband! She's wanted to become a Grandma for some time now! She's beyond supportive (my dad too) and my inlaws! We're very lucky :)
You are so incredibly lucky to have your momma here for this special time, Gina! I'm so glad that your family is supportive!!!
