You’re still our little secret!
See, you don’t normally disclose a pregnancy until around eight or nine weeks. That’s because you want to wait until after the most vulnerable period of the pregnancy (with the highest risk for something to go wrong) has passed.
We don’t like to think about something going wrong. But we sure do like to think about you!
And so right now, we’re in Tucson visiting Papa Ducky and Grammy (whom I call “Mom” and “Dad”). But we’re not telling them yet
It’s a secret! I’ve even left a few very subtle clues, but no one’s the wiser. We’ll start telling people in about a month — and then even MORE people will be excited about your existence.
But no one, my little friend, will be as excited as me and your mommy!

What subtle clues?

Haha. Nothing big. I just made assorted comments about babies and pregnancies. Nothing to indicate that we ourselves have a baby on the way. Fret not!

No, no…not a true statement. You have no idea how excited I am about my first grandchild - I think more so than when I had my own. The excitement is different, but certainly no less in degree.
