The day I found out about you...

Hello sweet baby! Today I woke up really early in the morning and took a pregnancy test...and sure enough...I was PREGNANT! I was so excited I left your daddy sleeping soundly and drove to your YaYa's house a few miles down the road. I told her the amazing news & grabbed the coffee mug I made your daddy for this very day. I then drove back home and woke him up. He was not happy. I told him we had somewhere important to go. Finally I convinced him to get out of bed. We got ready and drove downtown to the Driskill Hotel. I had made reservations for breakfast and the staff took such great care of us! We sat in a reserved booth by the window and they served us with coffee (for daddy) and tea (for mommy). Your daddy's coffee was in a giant orange and blue mug that said, "Big Daddy" on the front that I has made for him at a pottery shop! I think he instantly knew he was going to be a dad but I told him to drink his coffee and at the bottom of the mug was the message, "You are going to be a daddy!" Your wonderful daddy started tearing up and was SO excited that you were going to be ours! We ordered breakfast and enjoyed this moment together. 

The Driskill Hotel has always been special to us because your daddy proposed to me there almost three years ago and we spent our wedding night there two years ago. So I figured what better place than to tell him we were going to be a family. :-)

After videotaping your daddy's reaction of us having a baby the manager brought us a box. He said he wanted to give us our first gift. So we opened it and inside were two onesies, for a boy or a girl! We were flabbergasted that they would be so generous! We only expected a nice breakfast together. Then the chef came by our table to congratulate us and offered us to come stay for a night and he would work out a special deal. We were again, blown away. Then to top it all off they paid for our breakfast! We couldn't believe it and were overjoyed with how special they made our day. 

We took a lot of pictures with the coffee mug and onesies then I had to drop your daddy off at work. But we were smitten with you already. Now begins the countdown of 9 months til meet our sweet orange seed (that's how big you are right now!)

We already love you so much! Mama will give you everything you need and daddy will be our cheerleader. Grow in grace, in God's vision you will be quite a sight. See you in 9 months baby! 

Xxoo Mama & Daddy
