Dear Baby Bug,
I don’t know if you could feel it in there, but we had a very exciting weekend! We traveled with a whole group of people to Cincinnati to celebrate Grandpa Rand’s birthday and it was a weekend full of surprises! Saturday morning Mommy, Daddy, Grandpa Rand, and Grandma Cindy (and you, of course!) rode to Ohio to Aunt Sharon and Uncle Glenn’s house to have breakfast. While we were there, your cousins Sarah, Aaron, Kelly, Chase, and Taden were there and we got to meet Taden for the very first time! By the time you get here, Taden will probably be a full year older than you. Taden was too little to come with us this weekend, so his other Grandma and Grandpa took him home so that we could leave for Cincinnati.
Once we arrived in Cincinnati, it was time for Grandpa Rand’s first big surprise. We had arranged for your Uncle Brandon to fly in to Cincinnati for the weekend and Grandpa Rand didn’t know anything about it! Uncle Brandon arrived at the hotel a little bit after we did and I think Grandpa was really surprised. We don’t get to see Uncle Brandon very often, so when he gets a chance to get away from Atlanta we are so happy to see him!
After the Uncle Brandon surprise, it was time for an even BIGGER surprise…telling everyone about you!! Grandpa Rand opened his birthday gift and then we made Grandma Cindy go stand by him. I then gave them a suitcase that says “Going to Grandma’s” that had a bunch of stuff for you in it! Grandma Cindy screamed and was so happy that she started running all over the place. Daddy thought that was pretty funny. Grandpa Rand looked a little dumbfounded, but he was smiling and I know that he is very excited. Everyone else started smiling and hugging us and saying, “Congratulations!” It was a really nice moment and I am so thankful to you for making it possible. You are going to be a VERY loved baby…you already are!
After all the excitement, it was time to rest a little bit. Once everyone had calmed down, we went to a really good BBQ place called the Montgomery Inn. Daddy was very impressed by the waiter- you will have to ask him about how good he was at his job some day. I think he left an impression on your father! Once dinner was over, we went to the Great American Ballpark to see the Cincinnati Reds play our most favorite team- the Chicago Cubs! As you will soon realize, the Cubs are a very important part of our lives and we can’t wait to take you to many, many games. The Cubs aren’t doing very well this year (which is pretty par for the course) but they decided to play really well last night and actually won for Grandpa Rand’s birthday! It was such a perfect day and Daddy is very happy because, so far, you have an undefeated record when attending Cubs’ games!!
With all the excitement this weekend, Mommy and Daddy are very tired. We haven’t told the rest of the family yet but can’t wait to tell the Terry side next weekend. We also have our first doctor’s appointment this week, so we finally get to find out when you will OFFICIALLY arrive! I can’t wait and hope that you are doing OK in there. I love you Bug!
