  • I posted this on Wednesday on what to expect.com, but I thought you guys would love to hear about it!

    Today is my birthday & my husband took me out to dinner to celebrate. He upgraded my diamond in my wedding set - woo!!! But the best gift of all was this...

    We have not officially started trying to conceive. I have been asking for a straight yes or no, and he never would give me one. So tonight at dinner, he hands me a gift bag, pulls out the card & says "look at the present first." So, I pull it out & it is a pair of adorable little baby shoes! Then he hands me the card & it says "Just think of all the wonderful things waiting for your new baby - lots of smiles, hugs & kisses....and a wonderful mother like you." And he wrote "Ready?"

    I cried & cried if my stomach weren't so full from the amazing dinner, we would be baby dancing right now!!! Letting it digest & then we'll get working on that baby!!

    Isn't that so precious?? He wanted to make it special & have this be momentous for us. I just love him so much.

    Anyway, wanted to share with you all. I'm believing I will see our BFP the last week of February!!!!
  • That is...by far...the greatest gift (and such a cute way to do it!)

    You are so lucky!! I cannot wait to be a mommy. We aren't planning on TTC until November (on our Honeymoon) .

    But congratulations! I hope to hear good news from you soon!
