Tomorrow is the big day

Tomorrow is our big moving day and I'm still pretty excited for it.  We leave the hotel where we have spent quite a bit of time over the last few months to head to our new home to put an end to the transient life that we have been living.  Today, I'm thinking about how grateful I am for all of the people that we have met here that have gone out of their way to help us so much.  There are great people everywhere and the past year has taught us that by being friendly, sociable and honest, you can find these people anywhere.  Thankfully, we are not moving so far away from the friends that we have already made and we already have a few friends up at the mine.  Rob has spent much more time there than me so he already knows the lay of the land and since I wont be working, I will have plenty of time to get to know everything.

I do have 1 important piece of news....although the news is early and therefore not 100%....we got some interesting news at the doctor last Friday.  He was doing the ultrasound to take some measurement to help determine the probability of down's (which thankfully all looked very good) and the doctor stops and says, "Oh, do you guys want to know what you are having?".  This early on (14 weeks), I knew exactly what he was going so say and its a good thing that we did actually want to know and not wait for the surprise.  Then he showed us what distinctly looked like a penis....so.....it looks like its going to be a boy.  We were both very happy and relieved as that is what we were hoping for.  Rob hasnt been entirely comfortable with the whole pregnancy thing yet since at that point, we had no idea what exactly was going to happen with the new job but I could tell that he was really excited.  I was even happier to see that the baby was really active through the whole ultrasound which made taking the measurements a lot harder but was really fun to watch.

I will take some pictures of our new home tomorrow so that everyone can see where we will be.  Today, I will just relax and enjoy my last day here.
