Reaction - Granny and Granda Richko


Yesterday at work, Mom started to ask me how my doctor appointment went. She was referring to something else I had scheduled, but I couldn’t tell her that I canceled it and went to the sonogram instead!!

I tried to dance around it but in the end I asked to come see her for dinner. When she got there she was smiling, and I had a feeling she already knew. We sat down and I told her that I saw a different doctor… and smiled and she said “you’re pregnant” and jumped up and hugged me. We both got a little teary-eyed. It was sweet. We spent the rest of dinner talking about what to expect and reminiscing about when she was pregnant.

I’m SO glad to have my mom. I know I’m going to need her a lot. Plus, I talk to her literally every day, this is a HUGE thing, and I’m grateful to have her.

I asked whether we should tell dad or wait until father’s day. She said that she couldn’t keep this a secret until then, and I didn’t blame her, so we went back to her house to deliver the news.

Dad guessed right away. He said “what’s going on?” Mom said “Liz has some news” and he automatically knew. He gave me a bear hug and was thrilled. He’s going to be a great Grandpa – or G-Man as he would like to be called… not sure about that one yet. Haha!
