Surprise! You're Going to Be a Daddy

If moments in time could be saved...I would do anything to save the look on Matt's face at the exact moment he realized he was going to be a Daddy! A couple weeks ago, during a good spring cleaning Matt (with a slight tear in his eye) got rid of his Jenny McCarthy poster that has been hanging in the garage since we started dating. That's his girl! Just to be funny, I headed to the store the morning after my Mommy surprise to find "Belly Laughs" a book by Jenny McCarthy that she wrote during her own pregnancy. I bought Matt a nice, sentimental card which read on the inside, "You may not be able to hang this on your wall, but I think you'll enjoy this gift much more!" He definitely looked puzzled....and as he opened the wrapping and stared at the book...let me tell you, puzzlement became shock! It was classic. Soon that shock turned into the biggest smile I have ever seen...and I think he asked me, "seriously??" about 100 times over the next few hours. It was the second best moment ever next to our wedding to share something this big together and know that Baby Channel, or as Matt endearingly calls The Bump, is on the way!!
