When I First Knew

I woke up this morning with a strange feeling inside 
Could this be real – this is something I may have to hide 
I’ve waited for this day for so very long 
I just hope through all of this we can be strong 
How do I tell him, he has to know 
It has to be soon before I start to show 
I can’t wait to tell him, I’m so ready for the day 
I’m a little nervous about what he will say 
I want it to be perfect – the words I use 
I want to serve him dinner with a pair of baby shoes 
I’m so excited what do I do 
It will be part of us – me and you 
So many emotions – happy, but scared 
We are not ready – but can you even be prepared 
I can just hear them – those little feet 
Watching them grow will be a treat 
We can do this – there should be no fear 
Just to see the little face and hold it near 
The love I have is already so great 
Having this wonderful gift is our fate
