Dear Baby

Today we found out about you. Mama had her suspicions already and waiting until I could know for real was killing me... I snuck away on my lunch break today and what do you know - that little test confirmed my suspicions and let me know that you were indeed tucked away somewhere, quietly starting your growing adventure.

I set up a special little box for your Daddy to open when I got home from work... I worked myself up to telling your Daddy... Only to find him not home when I got there!! Luckily he didn't wait too long to come home to us and the look on his face when he opened his special package is one ill never forget. He didn't even see the test - he only saw the card and grinned at me... "Is this for real?"

I had to tell him there was more in the box!!

Daddy and I have already started talking about how we are going to tell our family all about you... We can't wait, yet wait we have to! Until its safe to make sure you're ok... Then we can shout it from the rooftops!

We have a lot of decisions to make and lots of things to plan... But for now we are happy to just let it sink in -

We're going to be your Mama and Daddy.

Darling, let's be adventurers!

Love Mama


inside the card: "Our family is growing by TWO FEET!"


will never forget this moment, or this face!
