It's Officially Official

Today is official (now that everyone knows, I can put it on here). Daniel and Tori are expecting!! They are due at the end of January. Today, we (James, Sean, Conor, Finley, Jade, Casey, Grandma and Grandpa Shew, and James' parents) all had lunch today at oh crap, I forgot the name but anyway, the announcement was made that they (meaning James' grandparents) are going to be great-grandparents again (James' cousin Chris gave them their first great-granddaughter) and at first, Grandma Shew looked at me thinking that it was me, but I had to say no it's Tori. The look on her face was priceless. I don't know whether to say that she was thrilled or what. It's so hard to read her face. I told Grandpa Shew due to the fact that no one else wanted to tell him and when I said that he is going to be a great-grandfather and he was so excited; he actually thought that it was me! When I told him that it wasn't me, he was to me disappointed. He was thrilled that he's going to be a great-grandfather again, but I am sure that he wanted me to be pregnant. In fact, everyone and I do mean everyone wanted me to be pregnant right along with Tori. What they (meaning the family members) don't know is that James and I are trying again soon and we can't wait until we become parents.
Babies, babies, and more babies! Everyone (well just about everyone) that I know is having a baby! Amazing, isn't it?! Today, James and I (mostly myself) babysat for Tori's little boy Jackson. I am surprised on how good of a boy he is. Yes, he threw a temperatatrum, but other than that, he was pretty good. He calls me "Rea" (just take the first part of And off of Andrea and you have Rea). I guess that's good enough since apparently it's difficult for some kids to say my name. I either get Annie, Andy, or Underwear (don't ask about the last one).
Today, I also got to see the Bolton side of the family for the first time in four years and that was wonderful! I also got to meet James' Aunt Pat and Uncle Mike. They are wonderful people. In fact, I had no bad vibes or anything from them. I am so happy that James' family is so warm and loving and that also includes his Mother's side of the family as well. I remember meeting Phillip's family and extended family members and you could literally hear a pin drop because of the fact that they have never seen a black person before (you could just tell by the looks on their faces). I also remember meeting Chris' (James' cousin) father's side of the family and they were unique too.
I can't wait until I am a mother; I can blog about that and even put pictures on here too! I guess I am done now. Have a wonderful week everyone and God Bless!
