To Daphne #1

Well Daphne today you have been in my belly for 26 weeks and 3 days. It won't be long and you will be here for mommy and daddy to hold. I worked in your room last night, so far we have your bed put together, with the sheets, bumper and mobile on it. The changing table is also set up with the sheet on it, daddy said he worked harder putting it together then he does at work. We have painted your dresser and another small dresser pink, and they are in your room. I have wall sticky's that need to be put up but I am waiting on a few other things that will go on your walls first. Daphne I wish I would have started this journal to you earlier, but better late than never. I am going to start from the beginning so that later on you, daddy and I can read this and look back and remember this wonderful experience.

February 24th is the day that we found out about you. It was about 2 o'clock at work that day and I began to crave a Pimento cheese sandwich. I can't tell you that I had ever had a craving for Pimento cheese before, I don't even think I liked it much to begin with. Well as I sat there thinking why do I want cheese some other things began to swirl im my head, like hmm that hasn't happened yet this month, I haven't lost any more weight, OMG what if I am ,could it really be, we have waited so long? So at five 0'clock I left work and headed to the gym like I did everyday but instead of going right home, I went to the grocery store picked up a tub of Pimento cheese and an EPT. So I get home and the first thing your dad does is look through the grocery bags to see what I have bought to eat, he ask me if I want a Pimento cheese sandwich and I say no. I said no b/c I was on a strick diet and the only way I was going to eat that sandwich was if my little test gave me two lines. So unannounced to your dad I go and take my test and I get my two lines. I didn't know what to think, we hadn't really been trying but we weren't not trying either. So out I walk with a big smile on my face and tell daddy go ahead and make me that sandwich because we are going to have a baby!!!! He smiles but is dumbfounded he says, "really, no way how do you know." I told him I took a test, he was so happy but still was unsure. So the next day at lunch I went and bought two more test and took them at lunch. Both of those test also showed positive, so I took a picture of them on my phone and sent daddy a text and said believe me now? Daddy called and he was super excited, so was I, but I asked him not to tell anyone until I went to the doctor. Yeah right, daddy couldn't wait he began telling everyone. So on that day you were only 4 weeks and 2 days most people don't realize they are pregnant until the baby is almost 2 months along, but you were eager to let mommy and daddy know that you were here.
