Baby Underdown!!

Wednesday December 5th: I just had to write this down so I can document everything and post it after we announce.  I don't want to forget anything about this feeling and experience! 

Dear Baby,

I can't even start to tell you how excited your daddy and I are that you are finally in my belly.  We have wanted you for a really long time, and tried for you for about 5 months, and now you are finally on your way! When you want someone so bad, the time seems to drag on, 5 months felt like 50 years! Month after month when I would get my period I would be so sad because that meant you were not here yet.  I just prayed and asked God to give us a baby, find us OUR baby, our perfect little angel.  I told him I knew it just must not have been time yet and I knew he was waiting for just the right baby to give us.  Now I am so glad he waited because I know you are the one picked out just for us and I love you so much already. 

I decided to test Tuesday December 4th.  I just had a feeling, my body felt different and I was almost two days late at this point.  I tested and left it in the bathroom ( in Piper!) for the 3 minutes it takes and waited in the living room.  I told your daddy I was going to test that night but didn't tell him when.  I went into the bathroom after 3 minutes and 2 seconds, looked at the test and immediately started screaming, I saw what I had been wanting to see, two pink lines!! I almost fell down the stairs trying to get to your daddy, as I was screaming and shoved the test in his face and said "LOOK!" He goes "whats this mean?" as I was screaming, jumping up and down and climbing into his arms.  I said "WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!" He goes "No, no are you serious, really? Oh my gosh, I can't believe it!!" There was a lot more screaming and jumping up and down and hugging and saying "WHAT? Wow, its really happening!" I asked him what he thought when he first heard me scream and he said "I thought you were running from a spider or something, I didn't know you were testing" 

Your daddy starting at TWO lines, letting it sink it :)

 Then came the fun part of telling a couple friends, your mommy is not very good at keeping exciting news to herself.  I texted my friend Amanda and she had the most incredible response a girl could ever get! 

Best Response EVER!

Baby, we are so excited for you, for this next chapter of our lives.  We can't wait to tell everyone you are on your way, we are going to announce it in 2 1/2 short weeks at Christmas! I made my first appointment to hear your heartbeat and it is for January 11th.  I don't know how I am going to wait that long but I will have to manage.  I love you!
