Lets start off with a little story…

My dear husband and I have had a whirlwind of a few months that began with a surprise (but not completely accidental) positive pregnancy test in December.  The funny part about this is that he found out first.  Thats right.  I am the weirdest pregnancy test taker…EVER.  I took the test and set it on the bath tub, then got ready for work with out even glancing at the thing.  Why I am like this…I have no idea.  Needless to say my sleepy husband stumbled upon a positive test and called me at work to break the news.

Unfortunately, a week after this event, we miscarried.  It was such a quick thing…one moment we’re freaking out and the other we’re sad at the loss of what we thought was going to be a new adventure in our lives.  We had a period of mourning and rested in the fact that…if at the end of the day we are left with the two of us, we’re doing pretty awesome.  I’m so thankful for the man Brett is, and the love we have for each other.

So…fast forward to January 10th.  I’m at work and had just consumed a monstrous burrito.  This burrito was a bad idea.  I felt terrible for the rest of the day.  Damn you burrito!  I made a joke about being pregnant again, which spurred the decision to take another test.  And ya know what?  I did it again!  I took it…set it down and started making dinner.  My husband checked it and broke the news!  He’s a good man takin’ care of his absent-minded lady.  So here we are!

Baby on the way!  I’m 12 weeks today and the news is out!  So I wanted to start sharing the little series I’ve been working on (in secret, muah ha ha ha)  along with some little notes to the little one. Yay baby Lemster!

Dear Little One,

This is the day we found out about you.  Your dad already loves you SO much and even kisses you and tells you he loves you, and I’m pretty sure you cant hear it yet…but thats not stopping him.  The only thing you and I want to do is eat french fries and take naps, which i am totally all for.  We’ll eat healthy next trimester when I can keep things down better.  Everyone who knows about you…all your grandmas and grandpas and aunts and uncles are SO excited about you.  They already love you a ton.  Your doing a good job growing in there and i’m super proud of you.

xoxo,

M
