It’s incredible. I had my first ultrasound last week, which was a challenge because I was also wrangling Liam at the time. It seems strange that there is another little person forming inside of me that’s not Liam. I wonder if I will ever get used to the idea or if it will seem odd and wondrous each time. I suppose I should feel that way because it really is both of those things. We listened to the heart beating away faithfully and I felt all warm and giddy. Then as we watched the screen, the baby squirmed around! I jumped, surprised, and laughed out loud. Pointing to the screen, I told Liam, “Look! It’s the baby!” He studied the screen and pointed, smiling brightly.

We won’t know if it’s a boy or girl for a few more months. I can’t seem to think of any candidates for names until we find out.
