Me and daddy (I love it!) tried so long for you! Two years to be exact! We thought for sure we would never get this far. How dare us put limits on God! The day I found out I was pregnant with you, I thought it was a dream. At first all I could do was cry. How many times have I taken these test and they came back negative? Nothing like the words "Not Pregnant" on those stupid little things. After I got over the initial shock of it, I thought for sure there was something wrong with the test. So I got ready for work, went by Publix and bought another test. And low and behold, it was positive again! Now I was really excited and I could wait to tell your daddy! I new just how I was going to do it!
I didn't talk to daddy all day long because I was afraid I would spill the beans. I went to Wal Mart and got you your first bib...It said "I love Daddy". I wrapped it up all nice and pretty with the test...you can't forget the test! When he opened it, at first he didn't know what it was. He thought I was giving him a thermometer until he read it! Silly boy! When he saw that, he cried. He was so happy! He was ready to pick you up from the hospital that day. He didn't want to wait. Come to think of it, I don't think he ever saw the bib. I'm going to have to show that to him when I get home!
We kept you a secret for a couple of weeks. We wanted to wait for our Doctor's appointment and make sure all was good before we started telling people. All I can say is, you, my sweet baby, are already REALLY loved. You have so many people waiting for you! They are waiting to spoil you rotten and then send you back to me and daddy! That's okay, though. This is what we have been waiting for.
Lord, help us bring this sweet baby up in Your will.
