And then there were three

Your dad and I found out we were going to be parents on March 19, 2013. What started out as an ordinary Tuesday morning suddenly became one of the absolute best days of my life. I had been longing for that day, anticipating that wonderful point in time where I would know for certain I would be a mommy.

We spent the next nine months eagerly awaiting your arrival. We nicknamed you "Buddy." We talked constantly about you and to you. Fantasizing about what you would be like, who you would look like. We knew you would be special and so loved, but the little girl we imagined then doesn't hold a candle to the extraordinary baby we know now.

Love,
Mom

The second line was faint, but it was definitely there!

My favorite doctor appointments were the ones where we got to see you.

One of my favorite ultrasound pictures taken the day we found out you were a girl! You always seemed to have your arms and hands up around your face, so we coined the phrase "Buddy with your hands up!" and we would say that constantly when we looked at this picture on he refrigerator door.

Me and your Auntie Alaina at my baby shower. We were so excited that you and Beckett would be so close in age.

Enjoying a night out for Liz and Perry's wedding about 6 weeks before you were born.

 

Best. Day. Ever.
