I couldn't sleep last night.
I could chalk it up to being uncomfortable, sneezing and a mild touch of heartburn, but maybe was because I am so excited about today.
Today feels like Christmas morning. You know that excited feeling you had when you were little (and that I have even now! I love being with family!) and you couldn't wait to see what presents you got and what you'd get to play with all day - that is exactly how I am feeling this morning.
Today we will learn whether we are having a boy or a girl. This is one of the most exciting parts along this journey. Today will forever determine what our life will be and whether we will be the mom and dad playing in the backyard with our little boy (who know doubt will be a spitting image of Tim) playing catch or making mud pies. Or will we be the mom and dad that are constantly putting pigtails into our little girl's hair and playing make-believe in a fort made from her bedsheets?
Either way, Tim and I are 100% excited. We don't care what today may bring - it is all just an amazing miracle.
"Don't know much about you
Don't know who you are
We've been doing fine without you
But we could only go so far
Don't know why you chose us
Were you watching from above
Is there someone there that knows us
Said we'd give you all our love
Will you laugh just like your mother
Will you sigh like your old man
Will some things skip a generation
Like I've heard they often can
Are you a poet or a dancer
A devil or a clown
Or a strange new combination of
The things we've handed down
I wonder who you'll look like
Will your hair fall down and curl
Will you be a mama's boy
Or daddy's little girl?"
-From "The Things We've Handed Down" by Marc Cohn
