And Baby Makes Three!

Dear Baby,

Today is April 1, 2013 and our life has changed forever! 

After celebrating Easter this past weekend I had a feeling, a very small, faint feeling, that something special was going on.  Your Dad and I had prayed for you before we even knew you.  We prayed for you to be healthy, for you to be strong, and for you to have a love for Christ like we do.  On that Easter weekend I had a feeling that our prayers were going to be real and on Monday morning I woke up early and found out I was pregnant!

I was surprised, excited, and admittedly a little scared.  I kept the secret to myself for an entire day to think of how I would tell your father and I started to realize that things were going to be different!

I had bought your Dad a book of baby names to give him as a surprise, however, things went much smoother in my head than in real life!  I went to go tell him about you after work, but I couldn't find the words! I just couldn't stop smiling.  After he asked why I was smiling so much I just started laughing (mainly because it was April Fools day and did seem a little bit silly to announce a pregnancy on that day).  I couldn't stop giggling.  He finally asked if I was pregnant and all I could do was nod through tears of happiness! After a long hug I finally gave him the baby book of names and told him he could get started! 

We are overjoyed and can't wait to meet you in December (or November if you can't wait to meet us too)!

Love,
Mommy

Here we are at Easter Vigil - we didn't know three people were in the picture!
