Dear Peanut,
Oh there is so much I want to say about and to you! I guess I will start in the beginning. :)
We had been wanting a family for almost a year and were getting to the point of being impatient about it not happening yet. We kept trying to remind ourselves that when it was "ment to be" it would happen. Plus, with my thyroid issues, it made things harder to plan and predict. I remember listening to this song way to many times and feeling that I could relate thinking about you. It also reminded me to how it felt like a thousand years I have been waiting for you, but someday it would happen.
Well that day finally arrived on March 9th! I can describe what it is like getting a positive pregnancy test, well 3 to be exact, but until you experience it firsthand it is still hard to understand. It is such a rush of excitement, happiness, disbelief and even a sense of panic! To be honest, the first few days are somewhat overwhelming, but at the same time wonderful. I also felt a sudden change of perspective on my life. It is hard to understand and describe, but suddenly someone, that you do not even know yet matters so much more than anything you have ever cared about. It's easy to get lost in thoughts and daydreaming.
Telling Tim that day was really wonderful. I had taken the tests in the morning, so by the time he got home I was ready to burst. I had already planned out how I was going to tell him. I had purchased this last summer with the intention of it being a gift to tell him I was pregnant.
The look on his face was something I will never forget. The smile he had was priceless and complete joy. We also used this hat to tell both of our parents and grandparents. It is one of those moments that will stay with you forever and is indescribably wonderful. We also sent this out to extending family to let them know:
We have a secret
That we want to finally tell!
You better sit down,
Cause you might want to yell.
We have our two dogs
And those crazy fainting goats,
But this is a secret
That deserves a toast.
Coming soon
To join our crew
Will not be an animal
But a little tot too.
We don't know yet
If it is a he or she
But we are
As estatic as can be!
It is 3 months along
And already a little ham
When we saw it today
It was doing a little dance
I think it knows
How excited we will be
When on November 4th
We shall be a family of three!
We have seen you twice so far and heard your heartbeat. The first time was shocking and hard to believe. I remember leaving the doctor office with a feeling of, "Oh my, it's really in there!". When we saw you again at the three month appointment you had grown so much! It was so amazing and wonderful to see you again. I wish we could go every week to see you!
Love and hugs!
