This is the day I found out I was going to be your mom.
I didn't know how I was going to tell your dad that we were going to be parents. I drove my car around town, thinking about how I felt - I was excited, scared, nervous, thrilled, overwhelmed...
I called my friend Heather B from the parking lot of the mall, and she answered the phone with "You're pregnant." I don't know how she knew before I told her, but she told me to march right in that mall and buy something for my new baby and celebrate. I bought a onesie that read "Baby Griz" and a winter hat shaped like a puppy. I gift-wrapped them both, and drove off to pick up your dad from school.
When he opened his present, he knew right away. He picked me up and hugged me, and took me out to dinner to celebrate.
I wish we had a picture of ourselves on this day, but we didn't take one because we were too busy calling everyone we knew to tell them we were going to be parents. Your grandmothers cried - all of them.
Only 9 months til we'd get to meet the littlest Burbach...
Love,
Mom
