BREAKING NEWS!

I always knew how i wanted to tell my family when i became pregnant, i knew i wanted to break it to all of them together. The Saturday after we found out, i was already having family over due to my future brother in laws new business grand opening. It was the perfect opportunity to surprise them all.


Once i made all the plans, it was unfortunate that Lenny's dad and sisters could not make it to our house last minute so we had to come up with a plan B for them. Lenny and i decided to take his dad and sister to one of their mothers favorite Japanese restaurant, Jade Garden. They knew something was up, very rarely do we randomly treat them to dinner. As we proceeded with dinner his dad kept eye balling us. It was actually pretty funny and i could not keep a straight face, i am a terrible liar. His dad asked, "what's going on?" we didn't answer right away, Angie sitting in front of me, looked up and said "your pregnant." jokingly. I couldn't help but burst into a giggle and say YES! His dad, kind of like Lenny's reaction thought we were pulling his leg. Once i finally confirmed it with a straight face Angie literally jumped out of her chair with joy and almost ended up into the booth behind her. :) She was so ecstatic and began sharing all her Molecular and Micro Biolody knowledge learned on her way to med school. His dad happily congratulated us and immediately began praying for a boy. :) We all continued our meals with smiles on our faces :) The next day Angie showed up with 3 full pages back and front of my own personal little regimen recommended by Dr. Gabella herself. <3


Now it was time for my mom and other family. My mother has been begging for a grandchild since as long as i can remember, before Lenny and i got married even. We always wanted to be sure we were ready all around. We both made our dream careers reality (nurse and firefighter/emt) we got married and enjoyed that for over a year (and continue to do so), we bought a beautiful home together, we were ready to start our own little family. There is no short way of saying how i broke the exciting news to my family other than this video, i pretended to take a group picture as my family always does when we get together.
