Your Dad and I have been hoping you would join us for a couple months now, and then last week we got to see our dreams come true. On Tuesday night, I called your Dad on his way home from work and said I wanted KFC for dinner - especially the biscuits and mashed potatoes. Looking back this was a little strange - I haven't had KFC in a LONG time, but I was really craving it that night. Fast forward - Dad gets home with the food and I nearly cried because I thought they forgot the mashed potatoes (you'll soon find that out - Mommy loves her potatoes!). They hadn't actually forgotten them, but still - it was a bit weird to be so upset about food. So, on Wednesday morning I decided to take a pregnancy test (this will probably be super embarassing for you someday - sorry!) and lo and behold - two beautiful pink lines!
Dad was still sleeping, so I thought I would be clever and set up the camera to get his reaction on video. Well your Dad woke up as I was fumbling with the camera and looked at me strangely, then asked "Are you pregnant?". And I just nodded and we both started laughing and crying and hugging! It was quite wonderful! Going to work that day was very difficult - I had this great secret (YOU!) that I couldn't tell anyone about. When I got home that day, your Dad took the first pictures of you and I together. I was four weeks pregnant with you by then, but you were still very tiny - only the size of a poppy seed!
All my love, Mom
