First LSU Game of My Life

 

Thursday was a very special day! First, it marked the one year anniversary since we've been knowing of our first born son! One year ago Thursday, I officially found out that I was pregnant at my doctor's office. I had taken an at home pregnancy test the night before at like midnight and when two tests both came back positive I rushed to the doctor's office the next morning and took a blood test! They called me with the very positive results around 12pm noon. That day was also Kaycee's 23rd birthday. She and I began the day with a very brisk walk and then breakfast at Waffle House after morning prayer at HPC. The news bursted inside of me and I told Kaycee the "secret" news over breakfast! I couldn't hold it in! She was the first one besides me to know I was going to be a mom...anyways, that day went by like a blur...I couldn't wait to tell Tyler but I wanted to do more than just "tell" him. So as soon as the doctor called I rushed to the LSU store and then to Hallmark so that I could tell him he was going to be a daddy in the perfect way. I grabbed baby LSU booties and a card and then put a big purple bow on them! I waited until dinner. For dinner, we went to Bone Fish Girll to celebrate Kaycee's birthday. My heart pounded all through dinner! I couldn't wait...finally the check came. As everyone funneled out of the restaurant I stalled pretending to be unable to find my purse. There was absolutely no one left in the restaurant except for me and Tyler...perfect setting! I put the booties down on the table, and gave him the card. I watched him read the card that said, "surprise...we're expecting!" completely unaware of what was about to hit him. I just had the biggest grin on my face as tears filled my eyes...he looked up and said, "wait what?" I nodded and said "we're going to have a baby!" and rushed him with a giant bear hug...that's when we both started crying, kissing and hugging right there in BoneFish Grill! Happy Birthday Kaycee!

Okay fastforward 12 months...Kaycee decided she wanted to go to BoneFish again. Not only was Thursday the anniversary of finding out we were going to be parents and Kaycee's birthday but August 30th happened to be the first LSU game of the 2007 season. LSU vs Mississippi State at Mississippi State. LSU killed them 45 to 0 so great start! We were just lucky that the baby booties I bought a year ago still fit Whitaker...and barely! He wore them with his LSU onsie Aunt Meg got him for my baby shower! It was a fun night and Whitaker, as you can tell from the pic was loving it too! He and daddy watched the game together...I had to rush him into the bedroom where Tyler was so Tyler could hold him during the kick off...we ate a slammin dinner, and we celebrated yet another great year of our favorite cousin's life...no offense to any of our other fantastic cousins...we love you all!

So long story to say...enjoy the cutest picture of our cutest son ever!
