On Friday evening we had supper with Ryan's parents. While sitting around after supper, conversation came up about what we wanted for Christmas. Ryan mentioned a few things to his parents, and then said, "You could also just get us baby clothes, and a stroller or stuff like that". His mom raised her eyebrows, "Do you have some news?". So, we told them they were on their way to their third grandchild.
Later that evening we called Ryan's brother and sister-in-law in B.C., and asked to speak to our niece, Emily. We spoke with her for a while on the phone, and then Ryan asked her what she wanted for Christmas. She named a number of things, including a "cute, fuzzy, kitty robot" which we were to look for at a "'lectronics store, with wires and 'lectronics stuff". Eventually Ryan asked her if she wanted a cousin for Christmas. She said, "Um, no but maybe..." and trailed off on a list of items. Then Ryan said, "Ask your mommy if you can have a cousin for Christmas". We could hear Emily asking her mom in the distance, "Mom, Uncle Ryan wants to know if I can have a cousin for Christmas?". Ang was on the phone in a heartbeat, "Guys, do you have something to tell me?!". That was a lot of fun - she was so excited! Apparently she already has a Christmas present for the baby, who is affectionately called "Itty Bitty".

CONGRATULATIONS on finally spilling the BIG news!
I don't know how we waited for a few months before we told our family and closest friends. . .I do know that those were very special moments.
