The little baby, whom we now call our little love bug, we had prayed and hoped for was finally being blessed to us!!! We had been trying to concieve for quite some time and finally the good Lord answered all of our prayers, we are so very very thankful!! Baby Hinch was concieved right around Valentines day and now we call him/her our little love bug. We are so excited to bring another wonderful baby into our life!!
I got to surprise Daniel in the best way! He didnt know I was going to test that morning but I went into the bathroom and did the test...I couldnt believe my eyes as I saw two lines come up. Shaking I went and crawled back in bed trying to figure out how to tell him. He was in bed snuggling with Mia because she had a 2 hour delay due to snow that morning. I asked her to go to her room but she wanted to snuggle with Daddy, how could I deny that! I finally told him I had a gift for him for being such a big pain in the butt the last few days, I was quite moody the days before, and he was kind of surprised but excited that I got him a gift to apologize. I went into our spare room where I had a secret bag that I had planned on giving him when I found out we had finally concieved. I took the bag back into bed and as soon as he opened it he had a little puzzled look for about a half a second until his eyes filled with tears and he cried "really?! really?!". Inside the bag he pulled out a baby baseball glove that held my positive pregnancy test along with a few little baby baseball outfits and a 'baby on board' car sign. Mia screamed "you are pregnant?!?!" and I said yes and all of us burst into tears. It was one of the most memorable emotional moments we have had as a family together and even typing this I have tears streaming down my face, it was beautiful. We layed in bed for the next hour or so smiling and crying and talking and I'm so thankful now that Mia was a part of that moment and that we all got to share such an incredible feeling, I will never ever forget March 1st, 2012.
Telling family was just as special and exciting...
For my mom it was the next day. It was her 25th anniversary at her work place so Mia and I decided to take her some flowers when I got off work. We went to the flower shop and picked out a beautiful arrangement and grabbed a card that said 'Congrats'...then Mia spotted another card that said 'Welcome Baby' with a little giraffe on it, she asked if she could use the card to tell Nana and I agreed. She wrote 'I'm going to be a big sister' on the card and hid it in her pocket. After we got to my moms work we found her and gave her the flowers and congrats card then Mia said "Nana I have another surprise for you" and handed her the welcome baby card, took my mom a second to read it then it hit her and she squealed and flipped out with excitement!! It was a perfect way to tell her and so exciting to Mia to be able to do it in her own little way.
Next up was my dad that evening. We didnt have any little trinket to give him to surprise him but Mia and I devised a little plan how she would tell him. We walked in and sat down and were talking a bit then Mia decided it was time. She said "Papa, my mom cant go hunting this year" and he asked "why", she said "because she's going to look like you" and he said "what do you mean Mia, are you saying I'm fat, I can still hunt with my big belly" and she said "no Papa, my mommys going to look like you because she's going to have a big belly because she's going to have a baby and I'm going to be a big sister"! The look on my dads face was priceless, he immediately teared up and jumped up to give me a hug and couldnt even believe it, he is so excited to be a Papa again. He's a little bummed I am pregnant through hunting season but he's even more excited to have a new baby in the family.
We are very close with Dans family and with them we knew we just had to do it all at once and tell everyone at the same time. The anticipation was killing us as we couldnt all get together until Saturday. I devised a plan that I was missing the family, which I really was, and that I wanted to have a family breakfast at our favorite spot on Saturday morning, they all agreed and it was the perfect plan. This baby will be the 3rd for the Hinchberger family this year! Daniels sister Deidra gave birth in January and his sister Amber is due in May and now us due in November! So as we sat down for breakfast Daniel was trying to find the right moment to surprise them with our news. We had a little plan on how to confuse and surprise them. We started talking about his parents new home they are in the process of building and how were the plans going etc...then Daniel said "yea we have a lot we want to do to our house too, we need to finish painting and this and that. We picked some new colors for the spare room, which one do you guys think we should use" and he pulled out a pink and blue paint color swatch from his pocket! Everyone looked confused then all of a sudden Deidra said "Nuh-Uh!!" and I had tears in my eyes and Amber said "Are you serious omg omg" and everyones eyes began to water, it was so perfect!! We all got hugs around the table and Mom and Dad jumped up to come squeeze us. We are so blessed to be a part of such an amazing family and loved by such incredible people!
We tried to make our facebook announcements just as fun! Daniels read 'Wow......My wife has two heartbeats!!!' which was super cute and mine read '
