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.
