The Best Father's Day Ever

After I got my big fat positive (BFP), I went in to the doctor's office on Thursday, June 12th, for an HCG Beta test to verify the pregnancy test. I got the results later that day and it was 345, which is a great number!

The next Sunday (June 15th) was Father's Day, so that was the day we picked to tell both of our parents the big news. We were going to have a cookout at Rock Creek Park that afternoon with my family, so before church, we went to his parents' house. The previous week was both of their birthdays/anniversary, so we took cards to them. On the inside of Tim's mom's birthday card, we wrote, "Your present has been backordered until February 2009...Get ready for #5!"

She laughed about the present for a minute and then realization dawned over her and as she realized we meant grandchild #5. She started crying and calling both of his sisters, and his father was so happy for us, too. It was awesome!

So then we had to go to church and continue to keep our secret! I had gotten my dad a book for Father's Day, which I gave him at the cookout. I then said I had forgotten his other gift in the car and went to get it. It was another book. As he unwrapped it, he saw the title, "Grandpa Rules." He gave me a funny look, and I told him to look inside.

Coming February 2009

CBE BFP

He just seemed stunned, and then he and mom started crying and hugging us. My papaw and some other family were there, so they found out, too. It was the best way I think we could have told them! The next day, June 16th, I went back to the doctor's office for my second HCG Beta test. This time it was 1,818, which means the doubling time was about 40 hours!! Doctors want to see it at about 48 hours, so my little one was growing up a storm over the weekend!

Funny thing is that Sunday was Eli's 1st Sunday home, so he went to church with Nanny and Pawy Bailey...Pawy looked at me, then Eli, and held his head down and started bawling. He couldn't finish singing his song...He said it was a great day for "little ones", of course we all knew he meant for Baby Bailey and Eli
