Hello little baby,
It's Mommy again. I just talked to your Daddy on the phone, him and Uncle Greg are in southern Oregon and they are driving fast of course. So I figured since I did a mild introduction of family it's time to introduce Mommy and Daddy and how we met and fell in love.
Aunt Missy and Uncle Tim (another confusing family history of why they are aunt and uncle but we can get into that when you are older just go with it ok) introduced us. Your daddy was over at Tim and Missy's one day when I went to go pick up your uncle Seth. Your daddy thought I was cute and asked Missy for my number I agreed to let your Daddy have it. We started with simple phone calls and text messages. Then for New Years Daddy and I went with Tim and Missy to their cabin to have some winter fun. After (I think 3 days) of being together all day and night we kinda hit it off. Pretty soon I was ditching all my friends to go hang out with Daddy. Instead of spending my normal birthday with Britney out having fun, I spent it with Daddy where he took me to dinner and a movie. The next day we went to go pick up Uncle Seth from his house where we got into a car accident. That was not in our plan but I guess it was God's. I guess God likes to make dramatic entrances when he wants to get his point across.
See the reason I say that is because your Daddy kept asking me to be his girlfriend, and even though I really liked your Daddy I was scared to be in a relationship. The night of the accident when the officer asked me if Daddy was my boyfriend I just agreed and from then on we have been together.I guess that accident brought us together in ways we didnt expect. That is why I say it was in God's plan, and although I think God could have gone about it in a more suttle way he did get his point across huh?
Now lets talk about you. I am sure that's the part you are dying to hear about anyways huh?
Just to be clear even though we didnt plan you, doesn't mean God didn't. He had other plans and just when Daddy and I thought our life was great God gave us something greater and that is you.You probably want to know how we found out huh? Well you can thank auntie Rano for that one. We where supposed to go out for girls night but she wouldn't let me go unless I took a pregnancy test because I had some symptoms of being pregnant (which I brushed off and assumed I was just going through womenly cycles and possibly getting sick on top of it). Well Miranda was right I was pregnant, and I was in shock. I was in such shock I made Miranda take a test just to make sure we didn't get a bad batch. :)
So we didn't go out. Well actually we did we went out to Jack in the box and got some cheese burgers and fries. :) and Starbucks and got some coffee. The next day I practiced how I was going to tell your daddy all the way home from Bellingham. The closer I got the more nervous I got. Finally after what seemed like days of driving I made it home and I saw your big handsome daddy in the drive way taking his dirt bike out of the bed of his truck and for a split second I forgot what I was so nervous about.
So I went straight to our bedroom pulled out the positive pregnancy test and started unpacking my clothes when your daddy came in all smiles from a good weekend of riding. He kissed me and asked me how my weekend was. We made small talk then I said "I have something to tell you, but I can't look at you while I say it" so I covered my face with a pillow and your dad looked so worried.
Me: "Well I guess I will just come out and say it"
Dad: "What???"
Me: " Well Miranda made me take a pregnancy test and it came back positive I am sorry I had no idea. So we never ended up going out." I peeked my head over the pillow and he was smiling...
Me: " I don't think this is very funny so you should prolly quit smiling now..."
So we decided to go tell your Gramma Jodi (who lived just 2 houses down). As I got into the truck I started having a slight panic attack where I told your dad that your gramma doesn't live far enough away for me to gather my thoughs. Your dad made a joke about having a babysitter right next door :) After we told the family auntie Tara jumped up and down, Daddy, Gramma, and I cried. Then we called Grandpa Ron on the web cam (he was far away in another country for work) and your Grandpa Ron cried. It was very emtotional. Here we are just one month later and ready to meet you and you are not nearly done cooking yet. So I want to say take your time because we want you to be just perfect, but I wish I could turn on the speed bake because I am ready to meet you. :)
Well little baby that is the background of mommy, daddy and you, our little baby.
We love you little baby keep cooking to perfection. See you in October.

Hi Sami,
ReplyDeleteI found this site as I was cleaning up my bookmarks. I just wanted to tell you that this is a sweet letter to Brody.
Brody is such a kind, thoughtful, smart and handsome boy. And he is a GREAT big brother to Danner and Colt!
You and Brandon are wonderful parents to your boys.
I bet when you wrote this letter to Brody, you could never have imagined you and Brandon would find yourselves, married with 3 boys!
I love you so much and love my 3 Great Nephews!
Always, Auntie Cindy xoxox
