Today (February 3rd), I found out you have been given to us by God. Your dad and I have wanted you for years, seriously, years. I have grieved your absence even though we hadn't started trying. I secretly hoped that you would come as an unexpected surprise. However, we only started actually trying four months ago. These four months that I have been praying for you God has taught me no matter how hard we try it is only Him who gives life. So even though these four months have felt like ages I never gave up hope, it was a relief to know that I have no control over bringing you into the world it is only God who gives life.
Last week I was beginning to suspect you were here, but it wasn't until yesterday during the Super Bowl when the Seahawks won the championship game that I felt muscles in my stomach tighten for the 10th time and I knew, I looked over at your dad from across the room and I knew, I knew you were with us and he was going to be the happiest man in the world. First his Seahawks then the news of you! But it wasn't until the next morning (the day before your Nana's birthday) that we found out for sure you were here. I took three pregnancy tests just to be sure. We couldn't stay at work we were just too excited, we came home at lunch and it was confirmed two more times with our last two pregnancy tests. Our dreams and prayers had come true you are really here!
I can't wait to meet you
Love,
Your mom
