On my 30th birthday, one year ago today, I discovered I was pregnant with you, my little Janebug. What a wonderful birthday present that was! Your father was very confused when he presented me with my birthday gift and I made him open one first -- a Cardinals onesie I had purchased months before to tell him he was going to be a dad. Little did I know Daddy would not be so magnanimous when it came to the Cubs.
The funny thing is, we threw a birthday party at our house that night. In the interest of maintaining secrecy, your brilliant father went out and bought me non-alcoholic wine. Fortunately, no one noticed I kept slipping into the downstairs bathroom with an empty wine glass and re-emerging with a full one. Unfortunately, I did not think to take out the trash in the upstairs bathroom before the party... leading one of our (very discreet) friends to discover your existence the same day we did. Oops! To her credit, she kept this funny secret until we called with the good news a few months later.
One year later, I could not have imagined the incredible joy you would bring to our lives. Just hanging out with you and Daddy (and some of our wonderful friends) today made this a fantastic birthday. I thought last year was the best birthday ever, but it looks like they're going to keep getting better. Thank you for that, my sweet little Jane.
Love,
Mommy
