Waiting!

Monday is the big day!!  I am so glad  mom could work it out and be here in KY for the ultrasound.  I know this will be the longest weekend ever trying to wait.  How exciting to be able to know for sure what we are having- and right before Christmas!!  It will be the best present to see that little face again. ♥ 
Yesterday while working on a final project for one of my master's classes, I came across a saved IM conversation between Eric and I dated December 1, 2006.  He was living in TX and I was living with Jenn in Jefferson City.  We were talking about getting married and he was sending me links of possible engagement ring choices that I might like.  I didn't know it at the time, but he had already planned our trip to the Grand Canyon to ask me to marry him right before New Year's Eve.  I was going on and on trying to guess what we were going to do for New Year's and he was giving very vague clues.  It was definitely a trip down memory lane!
And look at us now, finding out four years later if we will be having a boy or girl.  It's just amazing to think that we made this relationship work from across the ocean when he was in Iraq and across the country when he was stationed in Texas.  No one would believe our story.  It seems throughout the first year or more of our relationship, we were constantly counting down the days until something- usually seeing each other.  This time we are once again counting down the days, but instead it is to see the face of the little life we have been blessed with.
