Chad and I have had a lot of great time together these last few days. We have been trying to take as much advantage as possible of the simplicity of our life together as a couple before the laws of Mathematics crumble. Whoever knew one plus one does not always equal two? We went and saw a couple of over-priced movies, went on walks, played games, went to the pool, stayed up too late, slept in, worked on projects together and are trying to keep enjoying these last few days we have together as just Chad and Elisa.

I have never been happier. I cannot wait until one plus one equals three. Saturday night I had some preliminary contractions. It hurt. I couldn’t sleep. I got to call my mom at 3 am to have her confirm what was happening. Lucky me, she is in a different time zone. It was scary to think that within a few hours we might have our daughter here. I was glad that it was just a trial run to help us prepare emotionally. And I know that contractions usually start in the middle of the night, but I didn’t really imagine I would still be that tired when they started. 🙂 Chad and I are both so excited that things are gearing up and we are that much closer to having our little girl.
