The [not so] surprise party

No one was fooled.

We had a poorly timed Q/A from Paula last weekend, and gave it up. Paula has this innate ability to find out anything with a simple question. Cindy and I exchanged a glance before answering the question ('when is the next kid coming?') and it was checkmate. Denise and Cathy needed only to confirm Paula's suspicions.

So, we had our 'announcement' barbecue today, and the 'surprise party' was more of a 'confirmation party'. They even saw the baby bump last week, which I didn't notice till this weekend.

Come to think of it.....Cindy hasn't had me pull down the tub labeled 'maternity clothes' in the basement, yet. There will be no problem finding it, because it was packed & stored in the current location about the time Baby B was conceived.

  1. Like I stated in an earlier post--you can't fool the matriarch.

  2. I've been sooo excited that I wanted to tell both of you, "We know!" all week. I'm glad we were right! Also exciting is that at this time nobody knows if it's a boy or a girl. Each pregnancy and child is unique and challenging and wonderful. Congrats to both of you and to Lily!
