Baby tag

I have seen this on a few other blogs including Kara's and decided to do it, even if there is no number 25:) I should also let you know that David and I have a baby who is with her Heavenly Father waiting for us so there will be three for a while! Of all the things people said to help my through that, Frank Wilkerson made it all ok by telling me that that little baby was so perfect that once she got her body Heavenly Father needed her right back. (We don't know what the sex was actually because it was too early but we just assumed, although we do joke that that was probably our only boy!)

6- Who was the first person you told?
#1- David
Jadalie- Raichel and then called David. Funny story insert- I had gone to Cody with Rai and I was going to buy yet another test. I forgot and picked one up at Blair's in Powell. I didn't know how to explain the other check since if it was negative I wasn't going to tell David. He was worried about me thinking I was when the tests said no. I think he thought I was losing it.(I was a bit) So I found something from Walmart that was the same price as my cover-up:) I just threw out the receipt. I know...devious. So anyway, when I called to tell him I took a test he asked me why I kept doing that and I was crying and yelled at him that I was f****** pregnant. He was sooo excited that he told Adrin Mayes right then. I yelled at him for that too. I was too nervous for many people to know. So that just ended on NOT a happy note but it is funny now that everything is fine!!!!!
