Best Birthday Present Ever!

I'm not very good at surprising Jeff, I never have been, but yesterday, I pulled it off. I wrapped up his birthday present, a baby onsie that said, "Daddy Rocks". It was wrapped in an Old Navy box, so before he opened it, he said, "let me guess, a pair of Old Navy flip flops". For a second, he kind of had a confused look on his face, and it was then that I handed him a positive pregnancy test. Yes! We're Finally Pregnant!
"Are you kidding me?" Jeff asked with tears in his eyes (I have only seen him cry on 2 other occasions--he claims he cried when Gabriel was born, but my eyes were closed tightly the whole time, I don't count that one).
This picture was taken right after Gabriel found out what the gift meant for his future.
"That was a good one! I can't believe it! Thanks Honey!"
What a happy day for our whole family. I was able to keep the secret from almost everyone (for a whole week), but then I couldn't stand it, so when I was asked, I had to share a little bit--thank goodness it didn't get back to Jeff before the big moment of surprise.
This is the onesie and the pregnancy test. Note how I bought a girl one. I am hoping to get a girl so I am no longer out-numbered, but I don't want to be greedy, I will take what I can get. Since we have been doing artificial insemination, there is a greater possibility of multiples so Jeff is hoping for triplets. I opt for twins, but once again, I will take what I can get. Now we just have to pray, and be extremely careful so I actually make it through the whole pregnancy.
So far I have been pretty tired and a little sick, but not bad. Of course I am only at the beginning, so we will see. Wow! I can't believe, I'm finally pregnant! There have been so many people praying for us over the years---Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I am so happy for you guys! I just couldn't keep back the tears when I saw the onsie and then I saw Jeff's face and the tears in his eyes and it all came out! I love you! I will try and provide a cousin some time in the future.

YE-FREAKING-HAW!!! Oh, you guys, I am sooooo thrilled! To infinity and beyond.

Triplets, huh? Personally, I am partial to a name that rhymes with... uh... Blond Brain Pain - which, actually, IS my given name.

Congrats on little Chang Pang and his sisters.

Love you so much.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so excited for you Sarah! I just read your comment on my blog, and since I don't have your e-mail I had to rush over to leave a comment here. Seeing the pictures tell the story was absolutely priceless, and I just couldn't be any happier. I'm sure Bub and the rest of the Fitches will feel the same way when they find out. We will keep you in our prayers!!! congratulations again.
