Josh and I boarded our plane to Paris on Ocotober 6th. I was super excited as I always am to fly to a place that I've never been. Paris too! How romantic! Josh and I were meeting his parents, Bobbi & Arnold along with Josh's brother Matt, his wife Jen & their cutie 1 year old Lola. The flight was about 7 hours...
We took a taxi to our apartment shortly after arrival and Josh and I were talking about how we would tell everyone that I was expecting. My idea was to take out the book "What to Expect When You are Expecting" and start reading it in front of everyone and see if they notice. We agreed...this is what we will do...good. As we were passing all of this wonderfully french stuff in our taxi we started to talk about what would happen if they asked me if I wanted a drink...I just said I would say no because I don't feel very good after the flight. Okay agreed.
We arrive at the apartment...Matt, Jen, Bobbi & Arnold are such troopers and waiting up for us...they're jet lag was much worse than ours I bet. First things first, Josh, Dee would you like some wine? I said no, I don't really like wine...good...no one asked any questions. Jen and Matt went to bed and then we went out to dinner with Bobbi & Arnold at a place called Le Nemrod. I thought the name was strangely similar to nimrod, so that was a bit humorous. Anyway...we were chatting away and Josh's Mom says," So Dee what's new at home?" Josh says," Yeeeaaaaahhh Deanna, what IS new at home." I say, "OHhhhhh, what's new at hoooomme?" Well, I guess our plan just went out the door! Ha! Josh obviously wanted me to spill the beans immediately - cute. We told them. Arnold is like,"I knew it!" They were both really excited and wanted to call, Becca - Josh's sister- immediately! We tried to call almost all night...she never would pick up...finally about midnight she did. She was crying and excited, I think a little sad that she couldn't be there with us too. She's a teacher, so vacations only happen in the summer for her so she couldn't come. All in all I did get to use the book to surprise Matt & Jen. I said,"Jen, I'm reading this new book...what do you think of it?" I show her the book - her eyes get all big - excitement ensues. Matt says something classic,"I knew it! Dee NEVER turns down a drink!!!"
