Telling Daddy

October 6, 2012

Dear Baby Bean

I am so happy that I didn’t have to wait long to tell your Daddy about you.  He came to Grandma and Grandpa’s house at 11:30 and Tenley and I were ready for him.  I put a Big Sister shirt on Tenley (Grandma had just found it for me last week in anticipation of you hopefully arriving soon) and waited to see if he would notice.  When he saw Tenley he said, “Big sister?  You’re not a big sister!” and I said “She’s going to be!” and your Daddy just stopped and looked at me and said, “You’re pregnant?  Are you kidding me?” and then gave both me and Tenley big hugs.  Your Daddy wants a big family and is so excited that you are with us!  We have decided to wait to tell the rest of the family until it’s a bit safer.  I don’t have our first doctor’s appointment until October 30, so until then (and beyond) I will be praying that you are doing well and try to do my best to help you grow big and strong.  Just know that I am grateful every day that you are with me and that I can’t wait to meet you!
