Thank you!

I was reflecting this morning as I awoke at 10 a.m. (I hear that I won’t be sleeping that late EVER again) I had several thoughts back to the day I found out I was pregnant. Brian had just left for work and I decided that I should take a pregnancy test. I took the test with an extremely pessimistic attitude and then the second line appeared. I was in shock. I kept thinking to myself, how in the heck did that happen? It is so funny how you “try” to get pregnant and then when it happens and it is still a total surprise!

I have a feeling that actually meeting the baby for the first time is kind of the same feeling. I know there is a baby in my belly that I have been carrying and I know that I will meet this baby tomorrow, yet I have a feeling that we will be in complete awe when this baby comes out! That we will be thinking all over again, how in the heck did that happen?

Brian and I are super excited, a little nervous and whole bunch scared. That is the recipe for first time parents, I suspect.

I would like to thank all of you for joining me in my adventures in pregnancy. It was fun, scary, nerve wrecking, emotional and most of all a lovely experience to share with you. We are so lucky to be surrounded by so much love. The positive attitudes, comments and encouragement from all of our friends and family made this journey so much more enjoyable for us. So, Brian and I would like to thank you for already playing such an amazing role in Baby Perla’s arrival!

Brian thinks that he will have a lot of spare time (?), so he asked that I forward on some of the ways he plans to keep you up to date on our new adventures:
