September
We celebrated my 25th birthday, still can't believe I am a quarter of a century old. Time flies. We had a lot of fun! Seth took me out to a fabulous dinner, then had some awesome gifts and then we ended the night with a relaxing glass a wine by the fire, we got a chiminea =)
We finally had a roommate reunion actually back at a The Swamp. All the girls back together in Gville. It was lots of fun. We had our own tailgate on campus, then went to the game, (fun but bad ending gators). Always good to get together with those girls, we always have so much fun. I miss them all!
So on my way home from work one cold December morning, I made a special stop on my way home. We were going to a friends Christmas party that evening so I had to figure a few things out. Once I got home, both Seth and Diesel were already awake, having some coffee. I took a shower, had some breakfast and got ready for bed, my usually routine. This time though I had a special surprise for all of us. I was in our bathroom in our room and came out yelling to Seth, "I need you to come fix something." This wasn't really too unusual since our house was built in the 30's, ha. So Seth came running in and I had left him something on the counter. He came out holding the test reading "positive" saying with a big smile on his face, "I can't fix this." So exciting, we are going to have a baby. We both still can't believe it. =)
Sharing the news with our families was very exciting, but of course always interesting. We got into Fort Myers to my parents at around 6 am Christmas morning after driving through the night from Nashville (really Seth did most the driving). We surprised them, they weren't expecting us until about 8 pm that night. We really couldn't wait to tell them, especially so my nausea didn't beat me to it. We gave my parents each a package, "a treat from Nashville," Seth called it. My parents couldn't believe their eyes when they each opened a personalized onesie for Grandpa and Grandma for Baby Cain. They were so excited and surprised and tearful and overjoyed. The trick was my parents both had to keep the secret until later when all my brothers and sisters got there so we could tell them all together, they got onesies too. This is where it gets good. Michael and Janine and Chris and the kids all come over and the boys are out throwing the football. I walk out into the yard, like always and hold up my hands to my Dad to throw me a pass. Standing out there are Seth, Michael and Chris. Dad looks at me ready to throw the ball and pauses saying, actually yelling, across the yard "I can't throw a football to a pregnant girl." Needless the say, my face turns bright red and both Michael and Chris are looking at me going "What? You're pregnant?" They too were excited, just not exactly how we planned out to break the news. Always interesting with my family, it was funny, Dad still can't believe he's the one that spilled the beans, he was certain it was going to be Mom, since he is convinced its her that can't keep a secret. So funny. Later that morning we went over the Seth's family and shared the news too. They all opened their onesies and were all surprised together like we planned. Christmas was fun, but a short trip since we had to get back to Nashville for work.
