Telling the Grandparents

After we got the results of our blood test we decided to go ahead and tell both of our parents. We went out and bought them each a onezie and a ball for each of the granddads. We then went to my parents house. My mom, dad, mindy, and her boyfriend drew were at the house. We told them we bought them an early Halloween present. My mom opened the sack to find a onesie that said "who needs santa, I've got grandparents." My mom just stared stunned for a second and my dad said "you think so, huh?" I then announced that I was pregnant. My sister Mindy was aparently not really focused and it took me telling her twice for it to sink in that she was an aunt. We were all really excited and hugged and talked about baby stuff. We had to leave pretty shortly after to go over and tell Ross's parents the news.
When we got to Ross's parents no one was home from work yet. We had to leave the Halloween gift on the counter and just wait. In about 10 mins both mom and dad had showed up at home. Ross had to make his mom wait to open the present till his dad could get in there. She opened up to find a onezie that said "what happens at grandma's stays at grandma's." Ross's dad asked if we were trying to tell them something and Ross responded "yes." His mom ran over and was jumping up and down trying to hug us and a little teary eyed with excitment. Ross's dad then came over and hugged us both with a big congratulations. They were so excited.
