On August 2nd, Chris and I invited the the rest of our family to Gourmet 88 in Burbank to announce the good news. It's always difficult to coordinate a get together with our family, but this time with my parents in the middle of moving out of the house they lived in for 15 years, trying to pull them away from that for a dinner was not an easy task. Not only that, when I went to pick up my parents from the house, my dad actually asked if my tummy was getting bigger (which in chinese it's the same thing as getting pregnant)! I denied it of course, not wanting to ruin the surprise. And after sitting anxiously in traffic, we finally all made it to the restaurant.
As we did with Chris's mom, we waited till after we ordered our food to break the news. Then there was cheers, tears, and hugs for about ten minute. And lots of happiness all around the table for the rest of the evening.
At the time we were 8 weeks pregnant, with our first doctor's appointment scheduled for the following week. I was feeling great, eating healthy and sleeping well. No one can guess what we'd find out at the doctor's visit. But it doesn't take away from the joy we felt that day at dinner.
