Telling the Terry Family

November 11, 2012

Dear Baby Bean-

Today was such a fun day!  We had brunch with the whole Terry family for Grandma Carol and Grandpa Jeff’s wedding anniversary and we were able to tell them that you are coming to town in June!  Everyone was SO excited…but I’m getting ahead of myself.

We gathered at the Munster Center for Performing Arts and the whole family was able to make it except for Tim and Sam.  Uncle Tim was away for a debate meet, but we will get to see both of them at Christmas.  After brunch, Grandma and Grandpa started opening their gifts.  Finally, Daddy handed him an anniversary card which had these pictures of your sister (and you!) in it:

Auntie Carrie was looking over Grandpa Jeff’s shoulder as he opened the card and she knew right away what was going on.  Once Grandma Carol saw the card and told Grandpa Jeff what Tenley’s shirt said, it was clear that there would be another Terry baby coming into the mix in a few months.  We have such a wonderful family, Bean, and you are very lucky to be part of it.  Your cousins love Tenley so much and they are going to give you just as much love!

It is so nice that the Terrys know about you now.  We finally get to tell your Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Walter and the rest of the Walter family at Thanksgiving and, after that, we will wait until you are 13 or 14 weeks along to tell other people.  Everyone will be so excited- you just have to do your part and keep growing big and strong for us.  We love you so much!

PS- We also text messaged the picture of Tenley in her shirt to your Uncle Brandon, so now he and Aunt Sarah know about you too!  We won’t get to see them until Christmas and, well, I just couldn’t wait that long to give them the good news! J
