It was a Wednesday night, February 25, 2009, right in the middle of a busy work week. We could not wait until the weekend to tell them and we wanted to tell them in person. So we made up this story about how Chad left his cell phone in Gibsonville and his supervisor was upset so we had to drive up there to get it.
First was the Apple house. We brought a Bojangles tailgate special over and when Chad walked in with the food everyone came into the Kitchen. Chad said, "Well...we didn't know what you wanted. We've got mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, chicken.....and Sarah has a baby in her belly!" They were all of course very excited and Becky got on the phone immediately.
Next was the Campbell house. We walked in and sat on the couch and chatted for a little while about nothing really. Then Chad started talking about his job and how he hasn't been very busy lately. So he was looking around on the internet and he found this great idea for Halloween costumes this year. He said, "We are going to be parents!". They were both very excited as well. Becky almost spit her food out!
Finally we stopped by Granny and PaPaw's house. We walked in and after Granny and Papaw both tried to feed us we said no and sat down to chat a bit. Chad started to ask Granny about how she was feeling and she said better. Chad asked if she was going to have her surgery in March and she said yes. Well then he asked if she thought she was going to be better by October, and she said yes and went on to talk about that a bit. Then Chad finally said, "Well we just wanted to make sure you'd be better by October because that's when Sarah is going to have the baby." Granny of course grinned from ear to ear and Papaw said, "What?" because he didn't hear what Chad said. haha. They were both very excited as well though.
