A Secret for the Boys...

This pregnancy has been a bit tricky to keep a secret from the boys.  I have been pretty sick at night and at 8 weeks I knew I couldn't keep it from them any longer.

Justin and I went to the Doctor and got another ultrasound just to make sure everything was looking good.  We left with pictures and headed home to get things ready to tell them after they got home from school.

Mammy and Papa came over and we all hung out in the family room.

We played a little game on Mammy's phone where she got a bunch of noises and played them.

The first was a monkey, then a chicken, and an ocean.

Then a babies heartbeat...

The boys guessed a shark and a dishwasher.

It felt surreal.

We then told them that it was a babies heartbeat and they both thought it was theirs from when they were a baby.

No, it's in moms tummy....

That's when Nathan jumped up and asked screamed, "Are you PREGNANT?"

I nodded my head yes and they screamed and ran over hugging and kissing me and my belly for five minutes.  (The hugging and kissing of the belly had not actually stopped.  At 20 weeks I finally had to tell them they could only do it in private and no more at Costco and church. Haha!)

It was one of the happiest moments for this little Hillan family.
