First Dance


So I guess I should tell the story of how I broke the news! I happened to find out that I was pregnant the week of our wedding! I knew I wanted to tell Brian in a fun, creative way, and under other circumstances might have had a sign or present for him when he came home from work one morning. However, given the proximity to the BIG DAY, I decided to tell him at the wedding! Might have been sensory overload for some grooms, but I was going to try and find the perfect moment....

The whole week before the wedding, I hardly saw Brian with all the last-minute preparation stuff. So keeping the secret for the rest of the week, wasn't quite as hard as I thought it'd be. I was still debating on when during the night to tell him, when would be the best time. Well, during the ceremony we were obviously preoccupied, then pictures flew by, and all the rush and hurry! get into the reception for your grand entrance!

So...grand entrance comes and cue the first dance (Van Morrison's Someone Like You). Finally, a quiet moment, when it's just the two of us! So I take the opportunity to casually whisper in his ear..."We missed you, Daddy!" (since we hadn't seen him all week). Brian's expression was priceless, with great big smile on his face he said..."Are you serious!?!" I told him I was, and we kissed and laughed, talked about our newest adventure, and danced :)

So when you're checking out the wedding pictures, and you happen to see Brian with a big, goofy grin, maybe looking a little broadsided (haha) that just might have been the moment he found out he's going to be a daddy!


P.S. I'm making an online album of the pictures...I'll post the address as soon as it's up! :)

Post Weding Bliss

So...when I found out the big news I decided it might be fun to start a blog to chronicle the upcoming arrival of Baby Peter! So here goes...who knows if it will be funny and entertaining like some of the other ones I've read (i.e. Holli's :)) but here goes nothing! Hopefully friends and fam will enjoy keeping up with our newest adventure and blessing!! In Brian's words, I have "Baby Fever" so maybe this will be a good creative outlet for me :)
