Hmm...how to tell him...

After the initial disbelief, I had to figure out how I was going to tell Corwin. Decided I didn't want to sit him down and just blurt it out, so I came up with a plan. Went to the store and bought a little box, two pair of booties (one pink and one blue), and a card.

We had plans that night to have dinner with friends of ours and I knew I couldn't hold on to the news until after dinner. Corwin came home after work and I told him that I had gotten him a present earlier that day. Asked if he wanted it before or after dinner. Any of you that know Corwin, know that he can be a bit of a smartalec sometimes, that night was one of those nights. *sigh* When I finally got him to sit down with me for a minute, I asked again if he wanted his present now or later. He asked me what I would do in his shoes, "I'd want it now, not later!" was my response. "Ok, I'll take it now." he replied. I pull out a gift bag, he of course gives me a perplexed look and proceeds to open the bag. Digging into the bag he finds the box, yet something else to open. (I do this a lot with presents, can't help myself.) He opens the box and sees this card...

after reading it once or twice he opens it with a perplexed look on his face, he opens it...
stares at for a while and even mumbled the words to himself a couple times. "Boy or Girl, Boy or Girl?" then the realization of what I was saying hit him. He turns his head slowly towards me and says "Are you pregnant?" Ta-Da! He gets it! Of course, he then had the typical guy reaction...got a little warm, fanned himself with his shirt, breaths deep a few times and says "Are you really?" "Yep!" I say with a smile, as I pull out the pregnancy tests. He gives me a huge hug, tells me he loves me and of course I get really giddy. Time to go to dinner...
