is the secret still a secret?

i am not sure ;)

mom told some of her groupmates already so that they'd know why she's grumpy all the time that there are some things at work that would be hard for her to do.

dad told shared the good news with some select friends too.

tita chel called last friday to confirm the pregnancy since my lola mami told her mom. so eventually, the whole arizona clan will find out. mom's family and relatives (and probably my dad's side as well) had been spreading the great news so we're not sure who else knows.

dad's relatives from san jose, aklan and manila, and mom's relatives from chicago, bulacan, laguna and metro manila were also informed way back.

some visiting friends also now know coz my parents aren't really keeping the secret. if somebody asks, they'd confirm.

the olr parishioners whom mom and dad home visit on some sundays (to administer Holy Communion and pray with) also know and they promised my parents that they'd pray for me.

and just this morning, at church, my folks gave the de leon's a thank-you-gift for the st. jude statue that they gave them a year ago and told them that they're 13 weeks on the way. (side kwento: tito dennis would give st. jude or angel ornaments/statues to their couple friends who want to get pregnant. and tita ria prays for them for this particular intention). tita ria was ecstatic when she heard the news! :) since tita beth and tito dennis (the borgies) were also there, they also found out. so maybe, the pinoys from mom's work will soon find out.

there's no formal announcement yet. mom's waiting for the simple picture collage that dad's making. she'll post it on her blog and do the announcement there. i wonder when that would be though with mom's busy schedule. hmmmmm... it's fine though, i like keeping secrets with my parents anyway :)

exciting!
