Letters to Hope

I found out about YOU today.

This morning Joseph and I woke up early for some reason and started chatting about YOU.

Then I went upstairs to take a shower and get ready for work. Before I got in the shower I peed in the little cup and used one of those pregnancy tests that Anna gave me. As I was taking a shower I was not really thinking too much about it but when I got out there were two lines.

I ran down stairs and handed it to Joseph who now was officially DADDY.

I asked if he was scared he replied “No” then I got dressed and headed out the door. Before I left I asked again he said “Yes a little” I told him not to tell anyone that we had to wait at least 3 months.

As soon as I got into the car I called mom’s office. She was not there, I called her house. John answered the phone and I blurted out the news. Then I called my mom’s cell again then I called her work then I e-mailed her and Mary.

As if the news could not wait to be told, as if I did not have all the time in the world to let them know. I had to tell them as soon as possible. They both called me back and I told them the news, they are both very excited.

Planned, Not a Mistake, Not an Oops

You where VERY MUCH planned. Not a mistake like so many children, not an Oops. A planned child.

Although we wanted to wait until next month and we did not think it would happen this easy. Let me tell you it only took four times. (well really it only took once) but we only tried four times and then there you where.

I am so excited. So scared. So filled with emotion I want to SCREAM to the world about you, But I can’t not just yet. Daddy and I LOVE YOU so much and we are SOOO HAPPY. We are making the right choice we are so in love and happy. We are so excited.

Ok the possible days you could have been “conceived” are July 7, July 11, July13 and July 20th. Humm I think it was July 13th. But maybe the 11th I guess it does not really matter. You are here and that is wonderful.

Oatmeal and Wing Sauce

Today I ate Oatmeal for breakfast and chicken fingers and FF with BBQ Sauce and Wing Sauce for lunch. I was STARVING at lunch time but feel much better now.
