We went to Claudia's first baby checkup appointment!
In this next picture, you see Claudia getting Mommy-Ready!! Rolling up her sleeves to show that baby Daddy who's boss! ........Wait, what?
They placed her in exam room 1. I guess they knew who they were dealing with! The McGowan's!!
I found an interesting place to sit while I was waiting. Looks like a nice safe zone for the men.
So, I tried it out:
It worked like a charm!
The P.A. confirmed Claudia is pregnant, so we went out to breakfast to celebrate! Claudia was already on top of the reading material they gave us!
We were extremely excited!!!
So excited, in fact, that we could no longer hold in the great news!!
So we spread the word:
Ray Smash the baby world!!
An imperfect riddle I was made aware, but most people got it....I think. If not, the hint is in this blog's title. :-)
We are looking forward to meeting our mini me!
A huge thank you to all of you for making this day so great! All of your reactions were priceless!
Here are a few I was able to print:
Bailey Moore and Rebecca Rice tried to call me during this crazy time and I didn't quite make it to the phone. So they left me some great voicemail's. (I'll try to post them later)
Later that night, I got a message from Bailey:
And the next morning, Granddad actually used text messaging!!
This conversation happened while working on this blog! I had to post it! Much respect for you as a dad, Jon!
It's been a fun ride so far! Thank you all again!!
We love you all very much! Please keep us in your prayers!!
Love,
Ray, Claudia, and baby!
WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!! I may or may not have told everyone at work that I'm getting niece/nephew #5....and may or may not have shown the text message :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so so so excited! And I also discovered while reading this that I am WAY behind in reading this blog, so my CONGRATULATIONS must extend to Claudia's baptism also! Two new lives to celebrate! I'm just tickled pink!...or blue, not sure yet. Love to all three of you!
