You exist!

(This is the first thing I wrote to you, just minutes after I found out about you, at 8:10 a.m. on Tuesday, March 13, 2012.  I e-mailed it to myself, and I decided to start this blog for you.)

Dear Little Sprout,

Well, I can hardly believe it, but you exist!  Your daddy and I have been trying for you for a few months now, and I was getting really discouraged and jealous of all of these other girls who just seem to "whoops" get pregnant so easily.  I know we didn't try so long for you, but I've been wanting you for years!  I haven't told your daddy yet because that's not really the message you send by text.  I wonder how he is going to react now that it's real.  I think he will be so excited.  I couldn't believe it when the second line popped up immediately!  I was so sure it'd be another "big fat negative."  I'm running around like a crazy woman trying to figure out what I'm doing and what's going on!  I'm very excited that you are in our lives, Little Sprout.  Guess this means I need to hold off painting your nursery just yet!

Love,

Mommy
