"i love surprises!"

Thanks to everyone for all the support and love that you've shown us over our big news. We are very excited and impatient to meet our new little friend- and very antsy to know what it is! ("I'm guessing a human infant" is what Bret would probably say at this point).

It's good to finally put the news out there; I was beginning to turn into that lady on Saturday Night Live that loves surprises and can't keep a secret cause she gets so excited. If you don't know what I'm talking about you should probably watch this.

*I realize there's another one about announcing a birth but I think this one is better.

My friend Megan was pretty close to "pulling a Sue" herself. A couple of weeks ago we were having dinner with a group of friends and I was planning on announcing it at some point that night but finding it hard to pick the right moment. Megan, who already knew, whispered impatiently in my ear, "If you don't announce this soon I will do it for you!" So I immediately just blurted it out while everyone was in the middle of their conversations. It was awkward.
