Dear Baby,
I figured you might want to know how you came to be one day, so I decided to start writing it all down for you. Well....I mean....I'm not planning on telling you exactly how you came to be, because that's not a conversation I want to have until you're at least five, but I wanted you to know how we got to this point of deciding to become your parents.
In November of 2010 your dad and I had been married for almost 3 years and decided that while we loved your little fur sibling Marley we were kind of ready for a real-live human baby. We waited and waited....
Then, six months later you finally showed up!
It was kind of strange, but I just knew I was pregnant. I woke up one morning and took a Dollar Tree pregnancy test and when that second little pink line appeared I went to go tell your dad. I had always thought I might tell him I was pregnant in a cute and creative way, but I was just too excited for that. The conversation went a little something like this:
Me: "Ummmm....I just took this test and I think it says I'm pregnant. I can't really tell though. It's hard to read."
Dad: (previously in a gape-mouthed sleep pops straight up off of his pillow and out of his dreamy state) "Well...I'm awake now!"
Me: "What does it say?"
Dad: (carefully inspects the directions on the box) I think that means we're pregnant.
Me: "Really? Like, really pregnant?"
Dad: "Yeah."
From that moment on we knew that our lives would be forever changed and we couldn't be more excited about this.
Love,
Mom
