It's been almost 4 months since we found out I'm expecting. Despite my initial ultrasound at 5 weeks (we didn't get to see anything much), the three positive pregnancy tests, and all the signs and symptoms I've been complaining about, it still seemed unreal. Yep, I wasn't 100% convinced that I was indeed pregnant. Go figure.
Until today. I was overwhelmed by the surge of emotions I felt when I saw my baby on the screen for the first time. A complete little person growing inside of me. I almost cried upon seeing his (or her) tiny heart beating like galloping horses, a graceful synchronized swimmer doing aquatic arobatics... God, so this is what it's like. And looking at my husband's face and seeing the same joy I was feeling reflected on his face... I can't find the words to describe the beauty of that moment.
All I can say is thank you, Lord, for this miracle.
