Sharing The Big News

     Two days after my mom and dad learned about me they went to my Grandma and Grandpa Vitek's house for the weekend.  I bet it was REALLY hard not to tell anyone there!! (Especially when my Grandma Vitek kept talking about having a baby!)   I bet it was even harder that Sunday when Mom and Dad took all four grandparents out to brunch at Charlie's Crab for Mother's & Father's Day. I don't think they had wrapped their head's around the news quite yet and wanted some time to let the thought of me soak in!
     A few weeks later Mom and Dad had a Memorial Day lunch with the Kosten side so they thought this was a good time to tell everyone about me.  We let my cousin Sophie tell Papa Kosten that she was going to have a cousin.  Instead, she kept asking him when she would have a cousin.  Needless to say, he told her he didn't really know!  Everyone was really excited and I can't wait to meet my cousins Ellie, Sophie, and Will!!
    The next weekend we went to Grandpa and Grandma Vitek's to tell everyone there.  For a few weeks, Mom had been trying to arrange a time for Aunt Lexa and Uncle Drew to all be together and their plans kept changing throughout that week. It didn't look like everyone would be able to make dinner and, normally, my mom would have been understanding about their plans changing.  Boy, did they make it hard to keep it a secret WHY it was so important we all had dinner together!  They told Grandpa and Grandma Vitek about me by having them open presents that were the books I Wanna Go To Grandma's House and My Grandpa Coaching Third by Janet Sinke. She grew up with Grandpa Vitek in St. Johns and writes beautiful books about grandparents and grandchildren.  Everyone was really excited there too - Grandma kept saying "That's so cool!" and "I think I need to sit down!!"
