Telling the Fam

Tonight we called our parents and told them that we are expecting a baby.  This is the first grandchild for my parents, the 4th grandchild for Ryan's dad, and the 10th grandchild for Ryan's mom.  Everyone was very excited!  My dad claims he is too young to be a grandpa but I know he is secretly looking forward to it.  My mom couldn't wait to go out and buy baby gifts.  Within 24 hour her first purchase had been made!  It's wonderful to know that we have such a great support system.  Having our first baby is a little scary, but knowing that we have so many family members to help us out along the way brings us much relief.  And let's face it, without our families, we wouldn't be where we are today!
