Did You Know?

Dearest Samantha Joy,

Today, while getting ready for the baby shower that daddy's family threw for you, a thought came to me: there have been several interesting (but random) tidbits that have happened in the last several months. Truly, they are too random to put in individual posts, so I figured I'd quickly jot them down in list format lest I should forget.

So (insert fancy but annoying stinger music here)...DID YOU KNOW?
  • Did you know that, for a full twenty minutes, your name was not Samantha Joy but Emily Joy?
  • Did you know that you share a birthday with your Aunt Bethany? And the adoption agency we used is called Bethany? And Aunt Bethany has a sister named Samantha?
  • Did you know that, before you got here, your Aunt Beth was so convinced you were going to be a girl (and we'd name you Samantha) that she almost had your diaper bag embroidered with 'Samantha' on it?
  • Did you know that your Nonni has worn pink every single day since you were born? Today marks day #23. I should call her and see if she's broken the cycle yet.
  • Did you know that your baby pictures got mixed in with your cousin's ultrasound pictures this week at Costco? Just ask a very confused Aunt Nicole.
  • Did you know that your first phone call ever was from your Poppa? He called last week asking to talk to you. You were occupied and couldn't take his call. Translation: you were sleeping.
  • Did you know that I've been a little crazy with the color coordination lately? Seriously, I try to coordinate our outfits. Today, I took it a step further and coordinated your outfit with today's baby shower colors: brown & pink. You matched the butterfly cookies that were passed out today beautifully.

Hmmm...not as many "did you knows" as I thought. Oh, well. I've got to get you out of your crib now so we can have a dinner date with your Aunt Beth & Uncle Tom in a few minutes. More editions of (dum, dum duuummmm) Did you know? to come soon...

Love you tons,

your mommy
