The Plot Thickens

{Still getting everyone caught up}

After the initial excitement wore off and our parents were settled down, we decided to tell our siblings too. It just didn't feel right to leave them out. One by one we broke the news and received the best warm wishes and encouraging words. It wasn't until a couple days later that things got a little more interesting. A little more complicated.

On the way home from work, my sister called my cell phone. She was just checkin' in to see how I was feeling and wanted to ask me some more specific questions since we hadn't had really talked long before- busy mommy duty called her away. A few minutes into the conversation when I was telling her a specific symptom I was having, she interjects "I am too." I said, "You are too, what?" It turns out she meant she is having that symptom too because she is pregnant too! Can you believe it? What are the chances?

We did the math, busted out our calenders, and figured out "in theory" we are less than 1 week apart. Apparently, she had just broken the news to my mom, who was pretty torn up. Super incredibly excited for both of us and 2 new future grandkids, but what if those 2 new future grandkids share a birthday? Hello! What if they are born on the same day? And even if we happen to go into labor near the same day, not on the same day, can you imagine a grandma having to choose which newborn's birth to attend, one in Houston and one in Dallas? Only God knows what will happen, but it does make for any interesting 9 months together. I can think of no one else I would rather share this experience with.  Love her. : )
