Emotional Overload

So the last 2 weeks have been an emotional overload, to say the least. First there was the ER extragravanza. Memorial Day was great. Went to the casino, saw an amazing concert with Gary. BSB & NKOTB rounded out my boy bands that I wanted to see when I was younger. So much fun. After that, things took a turn for the worst. Gary's grandfather was in the hospital. We were able to go and visit him on Tuesday. We could tell that he wasn't doing well. The best thing about it was that we were able to make him smile and see his joy and excitement when we told him that the baby was healthy and growing strong.

On Friday we got a call saying that his grandfather had passed away. On Saturday night, we got a call saying my uncle Van had unexpectantly passed away. It was an overwhelming amount of emotions for one weekend.Monday we went down to the wake for Papa and to be with the family. One plus side to losing a family member, is being able to see all the family members you generally don't. I know that this meant a lot to Gary. Tuesday was an even more overwhelming day. We started the day with a beautiful service for Papa, followed by a great reception. We were able to be at peace with Papa's passing and knowing that he is now with his wife, who he missed the last 8 years. It was also nice to see the family so much and just be the support system that we all needed. Gary got to spend time with his Godmother, and he was thankful for that.

After the reception, we went to my Aunt's house to be with my family. Again, not the best circumstances but so grateful I was able to see them. And we will be able to see them again next week when they come to Maine for a family gathering to remember my uncle.

After all of this, on little sleep and being sick, I got home today to a wonderful piece of mail. A packet of information on my upcoming ultrasound. Gary and I cannot wait! June 20 can't come fast enough. Not only will we find out what we're having but I will be able to be put more at ease knowing that everything is ok with the baby and just seeing our little one again is going to be amazing.
