Finally! I’m hoping for triplets - that way I can basically have one and don’t need one of my own anytime soon. Today on Lindsey’s 30th birthday Micah was the one that got the best present of the day. Two days earlier Lindsey shared the long awaited for news that she was pregnant. Immediately the two of us left work and were out to shop for the newborns.
I did a really great job at holding the secret in for 2 whole days while we planned the perfect way to tell Micah and the rest of the family. On her birthday I accompanied and secretly video taped Lindsey driving to the mall and parking in the “Reserved For Expectant Mothers” space. Micah was appalled that she would park there - he said it was as bad as parking in a handicapped space. Well, UCLA grad and all -he still didn’t catch on when he was asked to open the glove compartment and there was a pregnancy test with “Pregnant” written on it. He couldn’t believe it. And it sort of finally hit him when Lindsey mentioned how neat it would be for his Grandma to meet her great-grand child. Then we saw the emotional side of the soon to be dad.
It was pretty awesome! We had fun milking the surprise to everyone individually in the family. We are so excited and have already made our guesses as to her due date. I’m pretty sure I’ll win. We’re also making bets as to the skin color of the little one. Will they (again I’m hoping for a multiple birth! So is Micah!) have Micah’s nice Japanese skin or will they be cursed like Lindsey and I are, and live their life with the sun as their enemy! Or maybe they will have that in-between red tone thing going on, Ha! It’s okay Lindsey, as long as they have our personality they’ll be just fine. Just like you told me my freshman year of high-school, “Tristen - your not going to get by on your looks, so you better have a dang good personality!” I’ll pass on the legacy to your red toned children!!!
