Best Anniversary Present Ever!

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Guess who's on the way...?
BABY #2!!!


I was still in Cali when I found out and it was Tuesday night.  I was returning home to Texas on Friday.  I immediately decided that I wanted to wait to tell Tyson in person which meant I had to wait THREE WHOLE DAYS!  I'm horrible at keeping secrets from Tyson so it was pretty hard.  However, our 6th anniversary was the day after I was returning home so that factor made it a little easier because I figured it would be a cool surprise for that special occassion.  Good timing, right? 

When I found out I was pregnant with Blakeley, Tyson was out of town in Atlanta for work and I told him over the phone.  It wasn't very special since I couldn't see his reaction.  That's the main reason I wanted to tell him in person this time.
  
Friends kept asking me, "So when are you going to have another one?" during those last few days in Cali and I just smiled inside and played it off like I didn't know!  Ha ha. It was soooo hard for me to keep it a secret from everyone I saw there those last few days...especially from my Mother-in-Law because I started feeling sick.   

So Tyson picked me up from the airport on Friday night and after we put Blakeley to bed, I handed him a gift bag and told him to read the card first.


I had written the card and it stated the following:

Top 6 Highlights of Our Marriage
(6 since it was our 6 year anniversary)

6.  Participating in Muddy Buddy together  (It's an event at Disneyworld where, as a team, we biked, ran, and completed obstacle courses and at the end, you climb under a cargo net through a pit of mud.  Fun stuff)

5. Purchasing our first home together in Florida

4.  Our amazing honeymoon to Mexico...so much fun!

3.  Our amazing wedding day and how special it was to be sealed in the temple

2.  The birth of our little Sunshine, Blakeley Jewel

On the back, the card said:

1.  The look on your face when you find out on our 6th anniversary that we're having another baby!

Inside the gift bag were two pee tests.  Great gift, eh? 

So that's pretty exciting news. I had a dream that it was a boy so that's what I think it's going to be!  I had that same dream with Blakeley that she was a girl and it was right so I'm betting it's a boy.  I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

P.S.  I highly recommend the pregnancy tests at the dollar store.  Super cheap and they work just as well!
