It's been so hard to keep this a secret! We've been bursting with the news but forcing ourselves to wait until at least the first appointment (which is this Wednesday, January 11).
But, since you're just joining us now, we'll take a few steps back. First and foremost, to all of you we told we'd stopped / weren't trying, we weren't lying--we really did. But God certainly has a sense of humor when it comes to Tory's elaborate ovulation charts and in-depth fertility readings, because, as soon as she threw all that out the window, Blueberry made his/her debut.
In all honesty, the big reveal wasn't the elaborate, touching, witty moment Tory had been planning. Pretty much, she stuck a bow on a stick she'd peed on, scooted Jeff over on the bed, and nervously announced "Merry Christmas, Daddy?" For those of you who know Jeff in the morning, the approach wasn't the most successful one as a) without glasses and b) without coffee, there was little initial reaction (other than from the three cats, who seemed incredibly annoyed that someone had disturbed their much-needed beauty rest).
But now we're here. Slowly but surely, the idea is becoming reality as we've started moving furniture out of the nursery-to-be, begun collecting second-hand infant items from generous and amazing friends, and started leaking the news to all of you. In the weeks and months to come, we're planning to use this site as a way of keeping you updated on our news, and we promise to even include a few photos of Tory's ever-expanding belly. (And Jeff's ever-expanding sympathy belly--but make sure you still tell him he's very pretty.)
We love you all so much. Thanks for joining us on this adventure!
