so apparently, you have decided to appear! i am beyond ecstatic and so is your daddy! the story goes like this...
on april 1st, (otherwise known as april fool's day - a.k.a. - a day where LOTS of people play tricks on each other to be funny. it's actually not funny for the most part...) i was talking with our precious friend neva about the idea of getting some tests done at the doctor's office to figure out how to prepare my tummy for your arrival. so before making the appointment with the doctor, i decided to make sure you weren't in my tummy. well... the test gave me a big fat positive, a yes, a YOU'RE PREGNANT! i took another test, called our amazing mama-joni and freaked out, and then another test. then i took a blood test, and then another test... and from the lips of my doctor... "your test came back positive." it took me a whole day to really believe what everyone around me was saying. it took me a long time to breathe a sigh of relief after having pent up my emotions and excitement and thoughts for so long. you have arrived in my tummy, sweet one! or maybe even sweet oneS!!!
my emotions have been so crazy. i have been shaking, i have been squealing, i have been smiling from ear to ear. yet, interestingly enough, the only two time i cried was when i called daddy to tell him that i thought that you have showed up in my tummy. i have teared up plenty, but the only time i broke down in fearful excitement was when i heard your daddy's voice and told him... "i think i'm pregnant." the emotions are so deep and real that i cannot even express them appropriately.
i am already so in love with you. i already have thoughts in my mind to protect you with my life. i already want to make sure that i treat you well while you're on the inside and to treat you well when you're on the outside. i am so blessed by your presence. i am so blessed by the amazing life you already are. i am so enamored that you are so small, yet such an amazing and huge part of my life. a day hasn't gone by that i have not dreamed and thought of you... now that you're growing and developing, i think of you even more!
your daddy and i are so happy.
all the people i have told you about in previous posts, are already screaming with excitement to meet you! we are all praying for your to be strong and healthy, to grow and be happy, to be a blessing and to grow in love with our Lord.
i am overwhelmed. i am excited. i am in love. your daddy and i have already bought you your first article of clothing! you and daddy have matching hats! grandma and grandpa johnson are so happy! your uncles and aunts on the johnson side are all so excited. your cousins on the johnson side are all so excited. your grandma and grandpa newman are excited. your aunt and uncles on the newman side are excited. your cousins... basically - you have a very large family who are incredibly excited to meet you and be apart of your life and you be apart of theirs. auntie joni, auntie wubs, and auntie neva are SO excited to meet you.
i love you more than words can express. please stay safe. please grow and be healthy. we eagerly await your arrival, with open arms and a heart full of love and joy.
love,
mommy.
