The beginning and catching up

How we knew we were pregnant
We went to a wedding in Elloree, SC on August 4th, 2012. I felt really tired the Saturday when we woke up and slept on the way there and then I took a nap when we go to Elloree. We left early so I could go to bed that night and I slept all day on Sunday. I also had one other clue that we may be pregnant so I told Daddy that I thought we were and we both got excited but tried not to think about it too much in case it wasn't true. So about three days later I took a test and it was positive and we knew we were having YOU! We could not have been more excited. We hugged and celebrated and we were both in shock but SUPER EXCITED!!

We announced it on facebook with this picture I made. Your due date is March 31st. 





We went to the doctor on August 29th to see Dr Bradford and she confirmed that we were expecting and it was an amazing experience after that. We got to tell all our friends and family and celebrate with them. 


On November 13th we found out that you are a sweet, baby girl and all the wonderful things started running through my head. Playing dress up, cute pink things, dolls, hair ties, a little daddy's girl.... and so much more. I can't wait to experience all of that with you! 


It's amazing how much all of our friends and family already love you. Your grandparents are already buying you stuff and talking about when you arrive and everyone is counting down. You will never be alone in this world, not with this huge, loving family that you'll have. 


Your Daddy is another one that amazes me. He has loved you since day one. He lays on my belly almost every night to try to hear you and he talks to you. He worries about me and you all the time and thinks about the day you'll be born. He is going to be the best Daddy you can imagine. He already told me that he plans to spend all his time with you when you're born and not me, so you'll have that to look forward to. I know he'll be over protective and yet so loving and fun. He really is made to be a Daddy. Sometimes he says the funniest things which I'm going to document on here for you to see later. 


I bought you a cute outfit that's brown and white polka dot pants with a big heart on the butt and he freaked out and said "that better be the last thing you buy my little girl with something on her butt!" He's already so protective. We also talked about your first boyfriend and you don't even want to know what he said about that. Just know that the  young man you bring home will have a challenge.

I felt  you kick the day before my birthday! I had a ROUGH day (two flat tires, a bad day at work, etc...) but when i felt you and it felt like little butterflies nothing else really mattered. It was the most amazing feeling I've ever felt and I can't wait to feel you kick more and let your Daddy feel it!

I think that's enough for the first entry. Just know that we love you so much!!
