Dear Little One:
If you’re reading this-you probably think we’re nuts. I will tell you that this whole thing was Dad’s idea-so you can thank him or tease him, whatever you see fit, after looking at this. Daddy’s “big idea” was for me, your mommy, to start a journal documenting our experiences of anticipating, waiting, growing, and bringing you into this world. Since I seem to have more access to the computer and my phone throughout the day, I figured a blog may be the easiest.

I have been scared, for many years, that I might not be able to make a baby. Mommy has Crohn’s disease and has had it for a very long time. When her belly flared up with pain, so did her baby making parts-something that Dr. B said may make it more difficult to make a baby. What are baby making parts, you might ask? We’ll talk about that later…

You were the biggest planned surprise for both of us. We jumped the gun a couple weeks early in trying to see if we could make a little one of our own-and our prayers were answered the day before we left on our Honeymoon! Mommy decided to give Daddy an early birthday present-and you can watch the video of him finding out that you were going with us to Mexico!

We took our week in Mexico to relax and enjoy knowing you were coming to see us within the next 9 months or so-WHICH IS STILL SO EXCITING!

I will post again later today to tell you how the first 8 weeks have been having you go from a poppy seed to a raspberry in size. You’ve not been too hard on mommy so far-and her Crohn’s has been the best it’s ever been! So thank you for that!

Love,

Mommy
