So Amazing!

This photo and the above shot of our pregnancy test represent two very unique moments. When we saw the word "pregnant" on that pee-stained piece of plastic, it felt like the moment when you receive an acceptance letter from a college you've always wanted to go to. There was excitement and all types of light bulbs going on in our heads about what we have to do to make this a successful pregnancy. Though that was definitely a special moment, it was nothing compared to the moment a few weeks later when we got to view the sonogram for the first time. Just under seven weeks after conception, we were able to see our 1/2 inch tall son/daughter's heartbeat. At that moment, if I had one less ounce of testosterone in my body, I would have wept like Jimmy Swaggert. I'm sure those of you who have had this experience understand the overwhelming emotions that the sight of the beating heart that you created can conjure up. I know that tons of people experience this everyday... but, wow -- it was easily the most miraculous 10 seconds of my life to date. I can't wait to see his/her growth over the next 7 or so months plus. More to come...
