how capri came to be

 a little bit about how capri came to be (besides the obvious, wink)

shawn and i had our two cute baby boys, but i so wanted to have a girl! i talked to him over and over about having another babe.

 shawn: no, i'm good with the two boys

me: but shawn, lets just have one more!
 i'll always have wondered if the 3rd babe
 would of been a girl. please?

shawn: no

me: ok, then let's pray about it

shawn: no (what a stubborn guy) 

 that's how most of our convos went.....and then one night, i said
 "ok, well, i am just going to pray about it myself and if we are suppose to have another it will happen!" 

all along shawn was just trying to be a tough guy and say he didn't want a baby girl but i knew he did! :)  when we would talk about it he would say "i don't want a daughter because i don't want to have to give her away some day!" 
don't let him fool you, he's a softie!!! 

my sweet friend, deb baldwin and i were talking one day and i remember her saying  while we were shopping at target "God wants to give you the desires of your heart, if you want a baby girl just pray that God changes shawn's heart about having another baby and that you have a girl"

so we did end up praying about it together, i would talk to the boys about having a baby sis, i even bought baby girl clothes and blankets. i would literally thank God everyday that i would have a daughter some day! 

this is crazy but the month before i got pregnant hunter brought this home from preschool! i almost pee'd my pants!

let's get to the point of this.... on january 12th 2012 i randomly took a preggo test....and while we are talking about pregnancy test, i have a confession....you have probably never met anyone that has taken as many pregnancy tests as me! haha! i am crazy sometimes, i would take one, look at it, inspect it, think i see a line , and take it a part, stare at it some more, text a pic to a friend and do the same thing the next day! i sound crazy don't i?!? so, i stopped by the dollar tree on my way to the salon, ran in, took the test, heard my client come in, so i was washing my hands when i look down and see two lines on the test.....o.m.g...i was preggo! eeeekkkkkk!!! i was so excited but got that crazy, nervous, freaked out feeling too! i had to tell my client the second she walked in because i was so excited.

i wanted to tell shawn right away and usually i'm so creative at how i tell him i'm preggs , but i was too excited to come up with a plan that involved a lot of time. i ended up telling my co-worker too because she said i was acting weird!  after telling those gals, we did think of something cute to do! i decided to write "hi daddy" on my stomach and go see shawn at his office.

 so i called him and said: hey babe, can i stop by and bring you lunch?

shawn: hey, sorry, i'm leaving the office in a few!

me: well, can you wait, i'm 5 minutes away

shawn: ok, if you can be here in 5 i'll wait!

so i drove there as fast as possible, went into his office and his co-worker was in there. i didn't want to lift up my shirt in front of him too! so i just told Shawn i would walk out with him.

right when we were about to walk out, i opened my coat and lifted my shirt......
 and turned around, smiling so big.....
what do you know, he was turned around the other way looking at something. i just said something like "hey, babe, whats this?" to make him turn around.he looks once , then takes a double take and smiles so stinkin' big and 
says "what?are you serious?" 

we walked out to the car and he was literally beaming, i was kinda shocked! we hugged and kissed then he sent me some of the cutest texts to tell me how excited he was that we were having another babe!

 and that's how capri came to be....

 i have lots more to write about like,telling our parents, getting progesterone shots, lots of ultrasounds, finding out we were having a girl and our gender reveal party (which was the most fun thing ever) but for now here is a video that my sweet friend stephanie made me :)

makes me cry. everytime.
