Much screaming followed and of course, plotting on how to tell the rest of the family.
We did not think that Rachael's mom was going to be able to keep a secret for long and not long after we arrived at the cook-out, in typical Schwarz-fashion, a riddle of sorts was used to share the good news. Each of the women in the family were gifted with a wrapped photo of Rachael as a baby and instructed to open their packages at the same time. It took a little while before it sunk in, but it didn't take long for Rachael's mom to blurt out, "I'm going to be a grandmother!"
Much screaming, crying, laughing, and hugging ensued afterward and continued for quite a while. Phone calls and emails followed announcing the news to other family and friends and over the next few days and weeks the network of friends and family praying for Baby Bing's development grew exponentially. For that, we are truly grateful.
