4 weeks
Today I am technically 4 weeks pregnant with you. What a day it has been!
You are currently the size of a poppy seed... it will be fun to see how you grow throughout these next 36 weeks!
Surprise, surprise!
I wanted to surprise your Daddy in some special way, to tell him about your arrival. Several months ago, I got the idea to burn him a CD of songs by his favorite artist, all of which have the word "baby" in the title. I downloaded the songs, burned the CD, created a cover and jacket for the CD case--the whole nine yards--and it had been sitting on the shelf in our closet waiting patiently ever since.
Until tonight.
We are getting ready to go on vacation--2 weeks to your Vo's house. You're already an international travel! Daddy was packing his carry-on and bringing some music for the trip. I told him, "You should pack this." and handed him the CD. He looked at it and said, "Aww, where did you get this?" I told him I made it, and then asked him if he noticed anything the song titles had in common. He said, "Yeah, baby, baby, baby, baby..." I don't think he got it, though. There was a pause, and so I said, "Guess who's having a baby?" and he looked at me and said, "You are? We are? You're pregnant?" and then the tears came. We stood there holding each other for a good 10 minutes, just thanking God for the blessing of you in our lives.

Well, hello there.
It's been 9 years, 8 months, and 19 days since your Daddy and I met for the first time.
It's been 7 years, 11 months, and 10 days since I got an e-mail from him saying, "Do you still remember me?"
It's been 7 years, 2 months, and 25 days since he stepped off of a plane in NY to visit me.
It's been 7 years, 2 months, and 19 days since he asked me in the airport if I would marry him, and I said, "YES!"
It's been 6 years, 8 months, and 7 days since we packed up a rental car with most of my stuff and started our cross-country trip to NY to California, to finally be in the same state.
It's been 6 years, 3 months, and 27 days since that beautiful, sunny Thanksgiving Day when we stood in front of family and friends and promised to love each other for a life time.
It's been 5 years, 6 months, and 20 days since your sister Bebe came into this world.
And now, here we are, the first day of 253 days (or 8 months, 8 days) where we are excitedly awaiting your arrival into this world.
We love you so much already.
