Rebeca and Jason are going to have a baby!!!! We are going to be grandparents!!!!
Here's how it all played out for us.
Back in May, Rebeca told us a package was on its way with something for both of us for Mother's Day. When the package arrived about a week before Mother's Day, we called Rebeca to tell her it had arrived. She asked if we wanted to go ahead and open it and we said, "no, we'd wait for Mother's Day". We've all always been the kind where when we have a present ready to give someone, we just want to give it to them so they can open it NOW!! As much as we wanted to open it right then and there, we waited.
On the day before Mother's Day, we got a chat from Rebeca early in the morning (now THAT should have been a sign!) asking if we'd like to do a video chat. But still, we thought this was just because of Mother's Day. So, we get her on video chat and she says we should just go ahead and open our presents. So, we get the box and place it in front of the computer and pull out two little packages that felt like picture frames. We said, "Hmmm, wonder what THESE could be!", knowing full well by how they felt that they were picture frames. Rebeca is sitting there watching us as we tear off the wrapping paper. I see the words, Grandma and me, and Guillermo sees the words, Grandpa and me on each of our frames. My first thought was that these were frames for some time in the distant future but then we looked at Rebeca a little confused and by the way she was acting, it made us ask, "Rebeca are you pregnant???" and she said, "Yup!!!"
Oh wow. You talk about excited. We just yelled Oh My God, and laughed and smiled and got tears in our eyes and simply could not contain the happiness about the news we had just heard. Then she said open the other box and when we did, this is what we found in it:
It's a precious little wooden cutout that counts off the number of days left until the baby is born. So, we are so thrilled and still full of wonder and awe about the whole thing! Wow!!
