Dumbfounded Happy Idiots

We both stood there, well actually I was laying down, and grinned. And grinned and grinned and grinned. I felt like a kid in a candy store who had just been promised one of everything. The magic wand moved over my belly and this tiny humanoid popped up on the screen! Mat and I stared in wonder at the black and white images happening before our eyes. His heart beat, his toesies, his lumpy head, his spinal cord and ...whoah... it's definitely a HIM! The technician, who had been there for forty four years (!!) made us laugh--I can actually say I know what a belly laugh looks like on the inside. It was amazing. When Mat got the print out of our photos he happily left the office without his book, his note taker and me. Ummm...dude...you forgot something!

When we got in the car I looked at the printouts given us and started to cry. This little human is ours. Mine. Ours. I couldn't help the wave of love that came over me. My own little love. He's mine and I can't wait till he's a part of our world.



Happy Tuesday!
