Doctor confirms...WE ARE PREGNANT!!!!! June 9, 2010

We went to our first doctor’s appointment today!  Since we were leery about telling more people before we had confirmed the positive test with a doctor we went ahead and scheduled an appointment with an OBGYN at Madisonville just for reassurance.  Since I was only about 5 weeks at this point, there wasn’t much they could do.  They did, however, confirm what we wanted to hear….WE ARE PREGNANT!  We had already decided when we got pregnant that we would go to Deaconess Women’s Center in Evansville for prenatal care and delivery so immediately following our "confirmation appointment" at Madisonville, we called and set up an appointment with an OBGYN at the Women's Center.  Our doctor would be Dr. Elizabeth Ott and we would meet her on July 7th!!!  According to my due date calculator online, baby Newton should arrive on February 12^th!

            After our doctor’s appointment we headed to tell Jon’s parents the big news!  He walked in and gave his Mom the poem.  She read for what seemed like 30 minutes (all while Jon's Dad enters and leaves the room 100 times doing different things and I was about to die because I thought he was going to miss the big announcement!) and finally looked up and said “Are you all having a baby?!?!?”  Jon said, “Yep!”  His Dad walked out of the other room and said “What is it?” and Ann said, “Jon and Carly and pregnant!”  Ronnie responded, “Alright!”  Ann immediately wanted to pick up her phone and call everyone, but we told her we wanted to wait a few more days.  Jon's sister Christy and our nephews Logan and Zane came down shortly after and we gave them an envelope to open with the poem from their new "neice/nephew/cousin".  They were very excited about the news and Zane looked at me and said, "I've always thought Zane was the perfect name, you can use it if you want!"  HAHA, too cute!

            Later that evening we were having a family dinner at Cracker Barrel for Grandma Liz’s birthday.  We decided we were going to tell Grandma Liz, Aunt Lea and Uncle Greg, and Jill and Dowen and their kids.  We made poems for each of them, changing the “grandchild” sentence to the appropriate title for them (niece/nephew, cousin, great grandchild).  After we had ordered our meal I pulled the envelopes out of my purse.  We passed each family an envelope and let them begin reading.  Jill, Lea Ann and Grandma all started crying and screaming!  They were so excited!  Grandma Liz said, “So I’m going to have another one!”  She gave me a hug and said, “Papaw would have been so excited!”  Which of course made me cry!

So there we have it!  Both sets of Grandparents know and some aunts, uncles and cousins! Everyone is SUPER excited about the new addition to our family!  We know Baby Newton will be sooooo blessed to have them in his/her life!
