You are currently growing lungs inside my belly, every now and then you give me a little reassuring kick that you are surviving my inside world. Oh how I love you so! Today marks your 26th week growing in my belly. The 14 weeks you take to get here will be the longest of my life.
I want to take this time while you are still quiet and living inside me to share with you about me and your wonderful father. I found out I was pregnant on March 22, 2011. I found out you were our Sophia (a girl) on July 16, 2011. Both were absolutley incredible days.
On March 22, 2011, I took a pregnancy test (however, I already knew, I don't know how but I did). I waited until 5:30pm to take it because I knew your dad would be home shortly after and I wanted to tell him right away once I read the positive test. I called your Grandma V right away (she screamed!) Then I called your dad becuase (of course) he was late. He got home closer to 6pm. I said to him on the phone "where are you? can you come home now so I don't say anything stupid over the phone (I was afraid of spilling the beans)". He had asked me when we started planning our family, not to tell him over the phone if I found out while he wasn't home.
So, I sat and waited on the couch for him to get home, he thought I was mad, (HAHAHA) and I just didn't want to spoil it for him. When he got home, I jumped up, I couldn't wait any longer. I told him "Jon, I'm Pregnant!". Oh Sophia, I wish you could have seen his face! He was in SHOCK! I think. I didn't even let him process the information before I made him get back in the car and drive over to your Grandparents (Mike and Mary) house to tell them the news.
Your Grandma met us at the door, I asked where Mike was and we went together to their office in the garage. I walked in the door first and said "I'm Pregnant" your grandpa teared up and grandma jumped up and down and screamed: "I knew it!".
I don't think you oculd have picked a more loving and warm family to in my darling daughter. We so badly wanted you to come to us and we are so completley grateful and happy to have you.
I just want you to love me as much as I love you. I think about how our lives will be and how I sometimes treated my mother, but I hope we grow close and that I don't ever do anything to push you away.
In this book I hope to show you what your first few months were like, I don't konw how life will be after I meet you, but I certianly hope to find time to write to you.
A little about me...currently its August 2011, So I am 24 years old. I am almost finished with my BA in psychology from California State University of San Marcos. I will finish when you are about 6 months old. I'll make sure to put a picture of my graduation with you in them. Also, I'm a nanny. I work for 3 incredible chldren whom I love dearly and am undenyabley in love with. In just four short weeks another nanny will be taking my place and I will get to start preparing my life to love and take care of you. I'm not taking any classes right now although school has started. I am studying to take a big test so that I can get into graduate school. And some day be a big shot researcher. I am working so hard so that some day you will brag about your mom!
