From the moment that test said "positive" (actually the fourth test said positive, because I didn't believe the first three), I was over the moon excited. Getting to share the news with Rob that we would soon have the titles of "mom" and "dad" was one of my favorite moments to date. But I don't think it fully sunk it. Morning sickness. Extra doctor appointments. Crazy hormones. It was all happening, but I still I hadn't totally wrapped my head around the idea that inside me was a baby. Our baby. The one we would hug, and cuddle and love for the rest of our lives. The one who would change our lives.
That was until Wednesday
In the past few weeks I have been feeling flutters that have turned to harder "whacks" inside my belly. The reality that a little baby was in there became more real with each feeling of movement.
But Wednesday... Our 20 week ultrasound... Seeing our child. That was a feeling that can never be described. I am certain that the joys of parenthood will continue to be topped over and over again as we experience many more firsts with baby Remark, but for now it may have been the very best thing I have ever laid my eyes upon.
Baby found its thumb.
We are already so in love.
