The last seven days have been pretty rough for us, we lost our beloved grandma. Needless to say peanut was put on the back burner for a little while to focus on the rest of our mourning family. Peanut was not on the back burner for long, since each day we were in Omaha there was a family gathering at my aunt and uncle's house. With all the food and beverages it was hard to keep the secret since Emily does like to have the occasional glass of wine. Emily and I had our hands full trying to keep the focus on the family and not on the fact that Emily was not having any wine. Hanging with the family would have been a great time to spill the beans but we had planned to let the secret out this coming weekend, so we needed to keep quiet. It was really tough too since we heard Peanut's heartbeat last week, a steady 155 bpm!
I wish we could have told my grandma before she passed but it quickly came to our attention that grandpa could not keep the secret any longer. He must have wanted to tell her so bad that he persuaded her to come and hang out with him in heaven. Well the good thing is that they are together and they can watch over the whole family no matter where we are.
There were many stories shared and many discussions on grandma and grandpa's love for their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Uncle Kenny did remind me that another chapter has come to a close, and that we will have to make sure the book stays open. My dad also told Emily's mom that it was weird how God takes one loved one and gives you another one. How did he know peanut was on the way? A sneaky suspicion? Little did he know. Well, only one day left and we can't wait to tell everyone this weekend.
