Breaking the news

I found out I was pregnant on a saturday morning at around 5 am. I was so excited I woke up early and snuck downstairs. I didn't have a picture with the test with Porter because I never got a positive one. I was thrilled! I didn't want to tell Caleb in a lame way, after all the fortune cookies were the BEST idea. But I also couldn't do the same thing. So later that night we had a date night planned at Color Me Mine. We made a competition that the most creative piece could choose the place for dessert. So we colored our while not showing the other what we were doing. Then at the end we showed each other. Caleb just laughed and laughed and then when we got outside he gave me a huge hug. He said he didn't want to make a big deal in public but he was thrilled. I love that I have the mug to keep forever. I got Porter the BIG BRO shirt and thats how we told our family and friends. At 11 weeks I had a bladder infection and had to go to the ER, they thought I had something wrong with my appendix, so we got a sneak peek at our little one. About 10 weeks before our real ultrasound we made a gender countdown chain. I really thought I was having a boy. I was pleasantly surprised to find out otherwise.

Love the 5 AM bathroom shot! The mug is a cute idea. When Shirley is a feisty teenager, you can show her the mug and remind her how happy you were/are to have her :)
