I obviously knew I was pregnant before anyone else, but the hardest part was keeping the secret for SIX DAYS before I was able to see Michael in person. I didn't want to tell him over the phone (he was working in Louisiana) and I didn't want anyone else to know before he did. Finally, on Sunday, June 21, we were home together in Auburn. I gave him this framed picture as a little surprise gift.
He grinned and said, "are you serious?" I love that we were able to celebrate Michael's very first Father's Day, even if he was in a state of shock. This was a huge surprise!
We've been through a lot since then. Now, at 18 weeks, the baby and I are both healthy and growing. Our ultrasound on September 16th gave us a little peek at what's going on inside my tummy.
After many weeks of anticipation (I wasn't very patient) we found out, to my sheer delight, that we are having a girl! You can see in the third ultrasound picture that she was curled up tight into a roly poly ball, but the technician was able to check and confirm all signs of healthy development. What a blessing.
This baby doesn't have a name yet, but it's a GIRL and she's due on FEBRUARY 16, 2010. We can't wait to meet her!
