Long story: ultrasounds are probably the coolest thing on the planet.
We go in and the tech, Deana, starts to wand my stomach and there is my little baby, all curled up and wonderful looking. (We're not finding out the gender, so the "he" I use for the duration of all posts is generic and not to be interpreted as being anything). Little head with a brain, little spine with ribs, little legs with shin bones, little chest with a heart and kidneys and diaphragm and stomach. Everything so small and perfect looking, even though it was all grainy shades of grey and black, but still, there was my baby, alive and healthy and growing!
J, I think, had more fun watching Deana manipulate the machine. But there were several points where he just started going "Wow" and I agree with him completely. It was a wow moment. It definitely gives a new meaning to:
"You formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them." ~ Psalm 139: 13-16
Because there was my baby, being formed inside me, knitted together in a way that I do not understand. But God does. God knows. God sees. And God is growing a little miracle inside of me. Definitely a WOW moment.
We met with my OBGYN afterwards, asked a million and one questions, grabbed Panera for lunch, showed Mom baby pictures and called J's mom to update her.
Afterwards, we went home, J went to work and I started organizing closets. Which is where I'll end this post and finish later.
oh, no picture :(
