Mom's Day/Ranger Day

Today is Mother's Day. I'm all alone in Texas because Justin is in Georgia at Benning again to have his try at Ranger School. I pray he does well and can make it as a first time go so he'll be done in July. I hate being alone and it hasn't even been a full day yet and I'm miserable. The day before he had to leave we went and found out the gender of our little baby. We had the Ultrasound Tech put whether it was a girl or a boy in an envelope so we could find out a more fun and creative way. Katy, a girl I work with said she would put it all together for us and I couldn't be more grateful. We decided that we would get a big box and either blue balloons or pink balloons would pop out as soon as Justin and I opened the box. I saw the idea on Pinterest. I hardly go on there, I don't have one and don't really know how it's used but I was on it one day at work and saw that and said I would like to do that. Thankfully Katy is creative and took on the whole project! She even made me a t-shirt that say Oh Boy! It was so much fun to find out this way and seeing the look on Justin's face was so amazing. I won't ever forget it. I know he's so happy and excited to have a little baseball player. :) Yesterday he had to leave. We woke up early, I took him to the airport and 4 hours later I was on my way back to the airport to pick him up because of many issues with the airplane and booking. Obviously I was so happy to have a few more hours with him but it meant we had to say goodbye again. That sucked. I stayed up and waited for him to get to Dallas, then Columbus and then his hotel. I was able to talk to him a little bit today but then he sent me a text, Well Minners, this is it... So sad to see that but finally he's there and starting and that means we're that much closer to being back together again. I can't wait for my sister to get down here to help me not be so pitifully sad. She's a great cook and baker so I'm sure she'll help me eat a whole lot healthier than I do. Oh yes, today is Mother's Day. They say that since I have a baby in me that I get to celebrate it also. I wish I wasn't alone to do this because it's sad but luckily I got a package from my family and it had my favorite pancake mix in it so that was lunch. I'm getting texts from family and even on Facebook people are wishing me a happy mother's day. It means a lot to me, more than they'll know. I cry whenever a new text or message comes to me. I'm a big cry baby lately. Probably has to do with Justin being gone so I'm crying for that, I cry just because I do, pregnancy hormones I suppose and I cry because this is the first time I haven't been with my mom for mother's day. I'm glad that I have so many sibilings up there and they can all be together. I can't see well through the tears and I don't want to continue crying so I will end this happy/sad post. :)
