Here we go!!

I'm in labor.  Contractions started at 3:30 this morning.  Pretty sure my water broke...although it seems to be just a trickle.

Waaaaay back in February, I peed on a stick six days before my period was due and for the 8th time in as many moths, it was negative.

Thankfully, a few days later when I actually missed my period, I realized that there was a slight chance that I was off on my ovulation date, so I tried again and it was blatantly, obviously, two-pink-lines positive.

I fell to my knees in the middle of my mom's living room floor and cried out with utter joy and thanksgiving and happiness, "Thank you, Lord!  Thank you, thank you thank you thank you thank you!"

I can't believe that the time is finally here to meet our little girl.  I have loved you since before you ever were conceived.

The next day or so is going to be so different than anything you have ever known; but don't worry.  We will take care of you.

I hope you know how much your mom and dad and big brother love you and how excited we are to meet you.

We'll see you soon.

Love,

mom
