What's the Daddy-to-be Doing? feeling relieved. It's great to not have to keep a secret from those we love any longer. He did spoil me for my birthday with belgian waffles, asian noodles and pool time!
Notes to the Little One: it was so nice to not be the center of attention for my birthday this year! You fit the bill nicely! It was perfect timing for the 12th week to fall on my birthday!
Everyone is so excited to meet you! You have a lot of Aunties and they all love you so much! Auntie Jenna screamed with glee... Auntie Agnes said she knew it before she got here... (we're pretty connected) and Auntie Alicia was totally in shock! (And bitter that we kept you a secret!) Auntie Tina was pretty shocked too... and a little giddy! Crescy is really excited.. I kept catching her smiling at me for no reason. Lol.
Your uncles reactions were funny! Bobby didnt get it at first (guess my 1up shirt was too vague) but when he did he was being pretty silly! He even told me to put sardines on my cake cuz I'm eating for two!) Jeff was laughing the whole time uncontrollably (daddy said it was like a hyena) and Patrick was determined for us to name you after him (Lol! It's a good thing we already know your name!).
One thing is for certain, you will definitely know LOVE from the moment you arrive! But please don't come too soon... your aunties are a little nervous about the length of time I have given to prepare for you!
