Knitting

Dear Little One,

Well, it's been less than a week since we learned that you're on your way, and I can't begin to tell you how excited we are! Right now, only me and your Daddy know about you, so you're our sweet little secret and we love it! We've already thanked God repeatedly for blessing us yet again with another precious child, and already we're counting down the days until we get to meet you.

I first took a pregnancy test last Thursday on 2/4, and it was so faint, you had to squint your eyes to see the positive sign. But, I knew it was there. Even a shadow of a line means there's a line, so it might be extremely early, but it was still positive! Of course I took two tests just to be sure. I wrote your Daddy a little note in a notebook for him and put it on his counter in the bathroom while he was taking a shower. It ended by asking him what he was doing in October!

Right when he read it, he came out of the bathroom wrapped in just a towel because he was so surprised. He did not expect us to know anything so soon. Needless to say, it made his day, and he was extremely happy.

We celebrated that night by going out to eat for Mexican food at La Brista (?), but we didn't tell Gideon and Canaan why we were there. They just thought it was another night out.

I took another test on Saturday, just to make sure the line was getting more defined, and it is. So, I'm happy about that. And I plan on taking another one tomorrow too! (Thankfully, I have found that you can buy pregnancy tests at the Dollar Store, so it's not so bad taking multiple tests.)

We may tell Nana and Papa and Grandma and Granddad this Sunday because it's Valentine's Day, but we're not sure yet. I kind of like keeping you a secret for now because Heaven knows we'll have to share you soon enough!

For now, know that you are loved already. We praise God for knitting you together as we speak, and cannot wait to hold you and see your sweet face.

I love you,
Mommy
