Ultrasound Uno

August 8, 2019:

I was so nervous!  I didn't think I would be nervous.  Everything still felt so unreal that I was surprised at how nervous I was for that first glimpse of our baby.  Joe and I walked into that dark room together and poof!  There was our baby.  More like this weird looking tiny blob but our baby nonetheless.  And right in the center of that blob was a heartbeat.  A real legit heartbeat going super duper fast.  

There's our little blob.  

You would think this would make things finally feel real but it seemed even more unreal now.  As I sit here writing this and remember that abstract feeling of disbelief on that day... little feet are pushing into my ribs, elbows pass across my stomach, and hiccups are ever present. My, how things have changed. Now, it feels real! Really real.
