PROUD MAMAS OF THE BABY BUG

OUR LIL BABY BUG

SO TODAY WE WENT IN FOR OUR FIRST "OFFICIAL" SONO AND IT WENT PERFECT! WE ARE OFFICIALLY 7wks TODAY AND THE LIL BUG IS A WHOPPING 9.51 mm BIG. LOL. WE SAW THE HEARTBEAT AND EVEN BETTER...WE GOT TO HEAR IT! IT WAS A STRONG AND STEADY 139 bpm. I FORGOT HOW AMAZING THAT SOUND IS. (CONSIDERING THAT THIS THURSDAY MY DAVID WILL BE 17yrs OLD, TO SAY IT HAS BEEN A WHILE IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.) TEARS JUST STARTED RUNNING DOWN MY FACE. IT WAS STILL SO SURREAL. THERE ARE MOMENTS WHERE I FEEL PREGNANT AND THERE ARE MOMENTS WHERE I ALMOST FORGET I AM. TODAY, WITH MY WIFE RIGHT BY MY SIDE, HEARING OUR BABY'S HEART BEAT, THE FACT THAT WE ARE HAVING A BABY FINALLY HIT ME HARD. I AM STILL ANXIOUS AND SCARED AND WAITING FOR THE PROVERBIAL OTHER SHOE...BUT I AM DETERMINED TO ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF THIS TO ITS FULLEST. OF COURSE TELLING PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THE KIDS, MAY OR MAY NOT HELP WITH THAT.  I AM IN NO RUSH TO FIND OUT WHICH IT WILL BE, THOUGH MY DARLING DAWN IS GOING BANANAS WITH IMPATIENCE.  I AM HOPING FOR A FEW MORE WEEKS OF SELFISHNESS, ENJOYING OUR LITTLE SECRET, ENJOYING THE PEACE OF IT ALL WITH OUT ALL THE QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS AND OPINIONS...I AM GONNA MISS THAT. WE WILL SEE HOW LONG WE CAN HOLD OUT.
