The Announcement!

Daddy has surprised Mommy with a trip to Paris and Rome for their first wedding anniversary (you will have the most comfortable seat for the journey, of course, snuggled up in Mommy's belly)! We get together for a going-away dinner with all of your grandparents and Aunt Lena and Uncle Gena and present them each with a copy of Mommy and Daddy's wedding video with a little hint of the wonderful news we have to share - a tiny yellow sock on a clothespin is hidden in each video. As your grandparents open their videos, they are confused by the tiny item inside. Finally, Uncle Gena catches on and exclaims, "Are you kidding me?!" When Mommy nods, Uncle explains to your curious grandparents, "Don't you get it?! They're pregnant!!"

The Big News!

Mommy decides to take a pregnancy test and it comes out POSITIVE!! Mommy is so overwhelmed with excitement that she can't help but jump up and down and squeal! Mommy sends Daddy a text message with a picture of the pregnancy test and the words, "i luv you, daddy!" We cannot believe the amazing news and rush out for another pregnancy test, this time Daddy says he wants to be the first to know for sure. It takes Daddy a while to emerge from the bathroom, and when he does, he grabs Riley (your puppy) and exclaims, "Riley, you're going to be a brother!"

Palm Springs

This is the place where Mommy and Daddy first fell in love in 2005 and the place where you went from a dream to a reality in 2009! :)

The Baby Proposal

This evening, after dinner, your daddy-to-be dressed up in a suit, got down on one knee, and proposed to mommy for the second time in their relationship. This time it went something like this: "Will you please be the mother of my children?" Mommy had been dreaming of this moment for quite some time and was ecstatic to be able to dream of meeting you some day very soon!
