I can't believe I forgot to post the most important thing that has happened since my last post!
I'M ENGAGED!! =D
I asked Crystal in a poem written on a self-made birthday card (poem after the cut, along with a photo of the ring). She said yes (of course). I gave it to her first thing when she woke up, kneeling beside the bed while she read the poem. I had made it so the last line was on the back page, so when she turned it over I pulled out the ring. I wanted to be different, but still romantic at the same time. I think she really liked it, at least that's what she tells me :).
Doctors in 1 hr. First and only time we see the Doc for Crystal, after this we will be following up with a midwife only. And we've decided against testing for CP (Crystal has a cousin with CP), as we wouldn't change anything even if it was positive. So we will just enjoy the pregnancy, and if something is wrong with our child we will still love and care for it as we would anyway. Fingers crossed everything will be fine though! :)
Dear Crystal,
We've been together for a year
Though it feels longer by half,
And through all that has happened
You can still make me laugh.
So no matter what time brings
I just wanted you to know,
That while we are together
My feelings for you grow.
So now comes the question
To keep you in my life,
Crystal Lee Sly,
(over page) Will you be my wife?
