Daddy comes home today! It's been a long 5 days keeping quiet about you. I finally broke down & had to tell your grandma Pam yesterday...She's already shopping for you! I guess that's what grandmas are for :)
His flight gets in at 10pm...I've got several hours to plan for the reveal! Not necessarily as grand as "move that bus" but I wanted it to be special nonetheless.
I purchased balloons in pink and blue...Little bibs that say I love Daddy, and a special bear I got at church yesterday. I laid all these things out on the bed for Daddy to see when he walked into our bedroom. The most special thing was a picture of our soon to be family. I placed a black and white picture of your daddy and I in the middle, your sissy Sherridan on top and the only photo I have of you is the pregnancy tests proving you were there...so that's what he got. Of course, I laid out the 4 positive pregnancy tests too...as if he couldn't already figure it out?!?
Trying to keep Milo, your puppy, off the bed was a task. He messed up the arrangement several times, & ran to hide when I yelled at him the final time. Needless to say, he didn't jump on the bed anymore.
Ok, 45 minutes until its time to go get Daddy & I'm so nervous, I decide to drive to the airport and just sit in the parking lot. I've missed your Daddy so much and he's only been done for 5 days. Still, when you have a secret this big and the one person you want to share it with isn't present, I think it makes you miss them that much more. Such was the case with me....
Fastforward to the reunion....I still can't blurt it out until we get home. He comes down the escalator and all I can think of is that this man would become my husband and the father to the little person growing inside me. I want to scream and jump up and down...But I can't ruin my own surprise for him so I remain quiet. Make small talk on the way home and tell him everything I've done since he's been gone. Finally when we pull into the driveway, I tell him that I wanted him to see what I did to our bedroom first....and up the stairs he goes and this is what he sees...
Daddy Open's the Door.
Daddy See's all things on bed.
Daddy takes a minute to let it register.
Daddy Understands whats going on (finally)
Daddy turns around and all he can manage to say is "Really?"
Of course I'm dying inside, waiting to hear his reaction. And I'm crying and he hugs me and says really...then kisses my belly and shedds a little tear. and kisses mommy...and (well the rest isn't appropriate for everyone else to read...)
We have created Life. Really, Really.
