What a highly anticipated day! First of all, it was so fun to see Vanessa and her pregnant belly in person. I haven't seen her at all since she has been pregnant. I'm infatuated with her bump : )
I picked up Vanessa and we headed to Provo for the ultrasound. It was so fun to just know I was so close to my unborn child (instead of hundreds of miles away). S. had to stay in Illinois and work so I decided to make sure that it was well photographed/videoed for his behalf so I asked my sister to come along as photographer only. (she did a great being in a photographer-only role).
Our ultrasound tech was awesome. She took a few extra pictures and spent some time with us. Baby is healthy and perfect size. But more importantly, our baby is very obviously a boy!!! It was so much fun and such an emotional moment. I felt like I was in a daze much comparable to the daze I was in while in the sealing room on my wedding day. What a dream come true!!! S. and I have wanted a boy so much...I just can't believe it is actually going to happen!.
I have to say that it was a little different being the one sitting next to the ultrasound table. But I felt an odd sence of ownership of that bump from the first time I saw it. Sortof hard to put to words the feelings that I had on a day like that. Vanessa mentioned as we were leaving that her cheeks hurt from smiling. As I was driving away from the clinic and calling people I realized that I was starting to suffer from the same problem-- my cheeks hurt!
What a perfectly beautiful day. I wish S could have been here to share it with me in person, but I know how much it means to him. When I told him and he was silent for a few seconds I knew what his face must have looked like. Overcome. What a miricle this all is.
After a few unsucessful attempts to blog last night (computer trouble) I ended up checking out baby boy clothes online. So much fun!
I could not get blogger to upload pictures, so here is a link to them. I'll try again later.
