Today is More Than Chelsea’s 29th Birthday

Today is more than celebrating Chelsea's 29th birthday.

A month ago…

I found out the secret while Yann was in India, but I was sworn to secrecy which is not a strong point of mine. 

Holding on to such a massive golden tidbit was a challenge, I wanted to shout from the highest mountain top and dance wildly under the light of the moon. Instead, I literally held my tongue between my teeth and counted the days (16 of them) before the big reveal. When Yann returned home Chelsea and Martin had planned to visit the following Saturday. A few days before they arrived Yann started talking about going on Saturday to go take a lesson with a thing that looks like a death trap, a lawnmower attached to his back with kite wings on both sides of his arms. The idea of that bugs me completely, truly makes me want to shove him in a closet and lock it. PLUS the fact that he wanted to go on the day Chelsea was coming home, he did not know that she had a big secret to reveal, the whole idea sent me into a crazy orbit. How could I tell him not to go without revealing that which I was meant to keep a secret?

Finally, after the third or fourth time he mentioned wanted to take this flying lesson I simply laid the biggest guilt trip on him, "Hey I am not going to the brocante this weekend so you cannot go flying, plus you have been gone for two weeks!" I felt terrible telling him that way, but I ran out of:

"Honey please don't go, I have missed you so."

He stayed home and understood.

Other than our wedding day, having children, and Chelsea's and Martin's marriage becoming Grandparents has to be one of the happiest times in our lives. We are in love with that person to be.

This baby will be the first grandchild for Martin's family as well, and the first great-grandchild for my mother.

Chelsea and Martin told me I could announce their pregnancy on my blog on her birthday.
