I had the honor of attending an ultra sound to meet this little person that we are all planning for. The entire day I was so excited - the night before I didn't sleep. Ultra sounds make me really nervous. I have never really had a positive ultra sound. I have probably had over 100 in the last 5 years....that is not an exaggeration...that is probably an under estimation....anyway....Friday's ultra sound was something much different....it was amazing...let me tell you.
We both had to pee so badly! I wasn't going to go because I knew she couldn't - so together we squirmed in our chair and watched with hopeful eyes as the women came out to call the the next person. We hoped we would be next. And we were. I didn't go in at first. I had to sit tight while all the measurements were taken (everything looked great). I talked to a young girl in the waiting room who told me her whole life story...which I loved of course. She had twin girls when she was 17; she was now 19 and pregnant again. She told me she was there to make sure there was only one! Oh God...what if there is more than one? I tried to calm myself....then; out she came to get me.
I turned the corner and entered the dark room. There on the table was this beautiful belly and the biggest smile to great me. Are you ready they asked? YES!!!!!
And there it was....this baby, all formed, with the roundest little head, and then the hands, and the feet kicking like crazy. Then all of a sudden there was the heart...pump, pump, pump. Oh my God look at this little person. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. It felt like a dream. Wow this is really happening and I'm here to share in this amazing moment. Then she focused in on the gender....sure looks like a boy to me....yup me too. The technician smiled and said "OK" all done. A baby boy...a baby boy....Finn a big brother to a little brother. It all felt so right, so perfect. I will never in my life forget that moment. EVER!

Together we went as fast as we could and ran to the bathroom. We peed. The baby was healthy and together we experienced a pretty special moment.
I'm just so thankful
A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues !
