Today Melanie and I went to our first doctors appointment and things are looking "normal". We talked about all the family history, diet, what to expect, etc...and we heard the heartbeat! At first our doctor was cautious telling us that we may not hear it yet, but then there it was all healthy and sweet.
The due date was made official as November 28, 2008. Which, though unlikely, is still very exciting (and easy for me to remember). Maybe our baby can have the same birthday as me and uncle Dustin. Wouldn't that be wild? There's a 20% chance...it could happen...
It's kind of a surreal idea to think about conceiving and giving birth to another human being. It's also interesting to think this much about someone who isn't born yet. Is it like when you hear someone's voice a lot and create an image in your mind and then when you meet them in person it's someone different? I like to think that it's someone who I'm already very close to and I'm just seeing them again after a long time (relatively).
We will see you soon enough!
I think it is different somehow with your baby..at least for us. She was sweeter than we could ever have dreamed...She is a little cRaZy now, but still sweet! And...I am jealous of the fun experiences you two will have in the next few months. Not so much the sick, exhausted, weight gain...but the feeling of first kicks, hiccups, and ultrasound!! Enjoy it all! (This sounds a little sappy :)) Happy moving day tomorrow! See you BRIGHT AND EARLY.
