Our Little Appleseed

5 Weeks | Size of an Apple seed

The day we told our family about you....

We celebrated your future best friends(Mello Wello) first birthday! It was two weeks before his actual birthday but we wanted to make sure your Lola and Tita Reen would be able to make it before leaving on their trip to the Philippines. Me and daddy were waiting for what seemed like forever for this day to come, we knew they would be so excited and supportive and that is something we really needed.

All of your Abuelo's/Lolo's were present and your Tia's and Tio's....minus your Tio Josh. Your furry faves were present, Sox, Coco, and Noah!

The morning started out rough, I was feeling the nausea of you growing within me, and was not in the best strength to have a party but the excitement  helped me to push through it all. Your daddy was a star that day, cleaning and cooking all the food for the party! You are going to fall for him and learn how to be a true servant by watching him!

We had a hot dog and chili bar, Tio Kirby made a doggy soundtrack, Doggy shows were playing on the TV and we even play a game with all the pups; who could eat the fastest!

 Then was the fun part....opening Mello's gifts!

I saved mama and papi's gift for last and opened all the awesome gifts our family gave us.....they are so giving and supportive...even for a puppy party! Lastly, I opened our gift.....a sweater that said "Big Bro"it took a while for them to get it but when they did their reactions were priceless!!!

Here is the video!

You are already so loved!

Love you darling!

A Surprise Blessing in the size of a Poppyseed

4 Weeks | Size of a Poppyseed

01.13.15 a date that will be forever be embedded in our minds.

 I can recall dreaming about this day but I never would have imagined it would come this soon!! It is still surreal to me, knowing that your precious soul is forming within me.......AGAIN...what a blessing!!!

We had been questioning if you had come because of symptoms that I had never felt before. I finally just did it, I woke up and fumbled around nervously within the bathroom while your father slept. I was able to get the test open after some struggle and I took it. As soon as I did I quickly placed it on the window sill too nervous to see the results, but knowing in my heart what they would read. I sat on the bathroom floor and prayed. "God it's in your hands, I don't feel ready but you know all things and I've always said it would happen when you thought we were ready." I then looked up at that scary white stick and saw the results that I expected, you were being made within me. I paced the bathroom, took deep breaths and placed the results on the sink in hopes of surprising your daddy. BUT as you will quickly soon figure out and I am sure use to your advantage, I am Horrible with keeping secrets!!

I tried to quietly walk back into the bedroom but right away your father turned to me and asked me what I was doing.......I quickly pulled my hoody to cover the smirk and stood there frozen looking at him. He continued to asked what I was doing and finally I said..."I took it..." and finally managed to let out, "its positive!". He didn't believe me so I had to run to the bathroom and bring back the test to show him. He then questioned the light line on the test, so I ran back to the bathroom and threw the instructions that showed what a positive test result looked like. We both had nervous smiles on our faces and laughed. I climbed back into bed and began to freak out but tried to remain calm. He began to reassure me and got into nurse mode. LOL We decided to take the second test to confirm after more rest.

We took it a different method this time, and this time I let your father hover over the results. Not to our surprise there you were as clear as day....YES+.

That morning was a swarm of emotions.......we managed to snap this nervous picture........don't mind mama she forgot to take her makeup off before bed.......

                                                 

.....though we are nervous and in disbelief......we have so much love for you already......our little poppyseed!!!
