Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our wings are not tired.
People, I have been busting to say something for like a month! Tate's mom and I knew but were sworn to secrecy because they wanted to surprise the granddads on Father's Day. They had us to dinner and gave DH and Tate's dad specially made cards and framed sonogram pictures. Then they made a bunch of calls to DH's mom, and various aunts and uncles.
She knew better than to think she could hide the signs from her mother or me!
Tesla has generous maternity and paternity leave, then 3 of 4 grandparents WFH so we will take over child care when they have to go back to work until the peanut is old enough that they are comfortable with daycare. DIL is super planner so I'm sure she has it all worked out. Great insurance too so her medical issues are all planned for and she has awesome care.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Congratulations Laura!

Congrats Laura!

It feels good to post happy news. Tate's dad races BMX and was already talking about bike modifications. The granddads were all about the fun plans.
