It's a Big Day

It's a big day in the Schmitt household. But I'm trying to be cool, and forget about what's coming. I'm doing all the normal things and telling myself "it's no big deal Mariel, just another day." This morning I had oatmeal for breakfast and went to the dentist. I filled the car up with gas and had second breakfast of scrambled eggs. Pretty normal Friday stuff. I tidied up the kitchen and threw in a load of laundry. I got my packing done for our weekend trip up north and sent a few text messages back and forth with my friend Melissa. Same old, same old! But the truth is, it's a big day. You see all the days before this day I never knew if I'd have a firstborn girl, or a firstborn boy. But from this day forward, I will know! I'll know if this baby God is knitting together is a boy or a girl and that is amazing! So you see, if I didn't play this little game with myself that this day is no big deal, I might just go crazy waiting for the moment to come! The moment when we'll know.

So come on little baby! Don't be shy when the cameras come on. Mom and Dad can't wait to see you!
