Where to start? Probably the beginning. Dan and I found out that we were expecting a beautiful bundle on August 6, 2010. I seriously broke down in tears and started running around like a crazy person because the instant that I found out (I was at home by myself, getting ready for work) I forgot what it was that I was supposed to be doing! At first, I thought that I would wait to tell Dan until we were face to face. I didn't want to tell him over the phone. Trust me, I had this "perfect" image of how I should tell him. So I went down stairs to take a shower and in the 10 minutes that it took me to take my shower, I had changed my mind. There was no way I would be able to wait to tell him until the end of the day! In my haste to run upstairs to get to my phone, I almost broke my neck getting out of the shower. Luckily, I didn't fall and sent Dan a text with the picture of my positive pregnancy test and then I called him. He didn't believe me at first, but then he was super excited for our cute little nugget.
Fast forward 36 weeks and 3 days later (April 18, 2011) - Welcome to the world sweet baby Quinn! Talk about love at first sight! Dan and I were both so overcome with happiness that we were both sobbing uncontrollably when she came (I think a small portion of my tears might have been relief - I WAS in labor from Friday night until she was born on Monday at 5:11 pm and pushing for 2 1/2 hours straight and then still had to have help from the doctor in the form on forceps). But I had never seen a more beautiful person before in my life. Who knew that you could love more than you already did? She surely knew how to squeeze herself into our lives and fill it with so much love and joy, more than I thought possible. So, here she is, at 7 lbs. 9 oz. and 21.5 inches long...the love of our lives: Quinn Godava Wodnick. The best of us all.
