Ever since the day we found out that you were going to join our family, we have been excitedly awaiting your arrival. I remember the morning I felt your soul. It was 7:00 am Friday September 23, Daddy was getting ready for work. I woke up feeling like I had to take a home pregnancy test. (I always have them in stock!) Anyway, the test was positive and I ran to the kitchen to tell Daddy. We were both jumping for joy, we actually woke your brother up. Oh peanut we were so happy but we wanted to be sure before telling anyone. So off Daddy went to work. I got AJ up for daycare and then I was on my way to work. My plan was to take another test during my lunch break. I went to the pharmacy and picked up a digital test that tells you how many weeks pregnant you are, I was 2 weeks!
I wanted to tell everyone that I passed on the street but I didn't. I don't remember how many times I called and text Daddy. I was so excited I wanted to burst. That Sunday we were supposed to have dinner with the whole family to celebrate Uncle T.J's birthday. We figured we would announce your arrival to everyone at the same time. Unfortunately your brother ended up getting sick so we did not go to dinner at Nana's house. We did however ask Uncle T.J to make sure he brought his tablet with him so we could Skype during cake time. So after singing "Happy Birthday" we asked everyone to be in camera range because AJ had something he wanted to show off. Because it was his birthday, we showed Uncle T.J the new bib that AJ was wearing. It said "Big Brother", it took a few seconds but then the smile on T.J's face was the biggest I had seen in a long time. Then he turned the screen to show the rest of the family. Everyone was cheering.
