Heartbeat We went to the hospital today and had an ultrasound done. I was nervous. The tech put the goop on Amber's belly, and a few seconds later we could see the little embryo, and a few seconds later, the tech pointed out the heartbeat. Just like that we went from not really believing it was true to seeing actual proof that we are, in fact, going to have a baby, and that its heart is already beating. It was almost overwhelming. I sat there looking at the monitor, thinking to myself that I should be asking more questions, but I couldn't. I was just stunned. The tech said that we should expect the kid to be all cooked by May 1. Mayday. How appropriate. Mayday. Anyway, we are going to go shopping to celebrate. We need to tell the rest of the family. I know, it's early still, but too many people know already, plus I am writing about it on a public website. I don't think anything bad is going to happen, or more importantly, I have a strong feeling that everything is going to be OK. And the reason you don't tell people is in case something bad happens, then you don't have to explain it to everyone. If nothing bad is going to happen, then there's no risk in telling people, right? 8:28:21 AM    comment []
