hi, little one! daddy and i went to the doctors last night and he took blood (WAH!) and we told uncle mike, karen and uncle seth (who is so excited!!) mike and karen weren't as excited as i thought. grandpop flynn is happy and so is patty, aunt jaime and danielle. everyone can't believe it! i know i'm a pretty sloppy writter, sorry! i'll help you read my handwritting! lisa and kevin are coming home on sunday and i'm going to tell them along with heather and mike. lisa and kevin got engaged this summer and they are getting married next august. heather and i are in the wedding and it's in florida. it's hard to believe you'll be with us then! i can't wait! heather and i set up their table with candles, glasses,champagne, our bridal wine, some extra wine and a congrats card, oh and i bought lisa a bride book. i can't wait to see them. monday i go to the doctor and find out for sure when you're coming. i'm so anxious to know how far along i am and how long you've been in there! well, till tomorrow! good night, god bless and be healthy! love, mommy xoxo

well little one, your daddy and i have been married one month and we are welcoming you into our beautiful lives! we weren't quite expecting you so soon! although we couldn't be happier! i just wanted to keep this book so that i could talk to you and try and keep my sanity! i hope that when you're old enough, you will enjoy this book as much as i enjoy writting! last weekend we took the 'at home tests' (3 to be exact!) and tomorrow i'm going to the doctor to confirm everything. we told my mom (your grandmother!) first, she was so happy, she wouldn't stop crying! then we told grandmom and grandpop cassaday and they said 'already!' although the day we came home from our honeymoon she asked when she was going to be a grandmother again! can you believe it, she is so happy! uncle christian was shocked. when i met your daddy (5 years ago) uncle chris was only 10 years old! he's growing up so fast! uncle rob and aunt dottie we told over the phone and robbie, your cousin. then they came over to grandmoms and gave you your first gift! a pair of sneakers! they're so cute and tiny. they were for sean, but he never fit into them. well little one, i'm getting tired and i have to go to the bathroom again! my two biggest complaints from having you in there! i don't mind. i can't wait till you grow with me! i feel like when i hold my belly (even though it's little, i know your in there) that i'm holding and hugging you! i love you and well, till tomorrow! good night, god bless and be healthy!, love mommy xoxo (august 20th was when we found out!)
