It's Sinking In...

On Friday while I was laying there on the table during the ultrasound, and I looked up at the monitor I couldn’t believe my eyes.  I was the very first person in the room to see it.  I said, “Uh…is that a scrotum?”  The ultrasound tech said, “Well….yep, that sure is”.  I look at Rob and he’s there desperately trying to see what we both were seeing – meanwhile having this silly smile on his face.  A rush of feelings and thoughts were going through my head… no, it can’t be – everyone thought it was a girl – my gut was right these past couple months…it is a boy.  Then – another wave swept over me… how wonderful – a little boy – he’s going to fit so perfectly in our lives – think of everything that we can share with him – Jonah, what a perfect name!!!

 

Later on while I was driving home from the radiology office I began to panic – what are we going to do with a little boy?  We’re more girl people!!!  However, as soon as that thought came into my head I remembered what I had been feeling since January …. That no matter what sex our child he/she had been given to us because they were meant for us.  I’m still a little nervous about raising a boy – but I’m really excited as well.  I can’t wait to see the world through his eyes and to grow with him.

 

We wanted a child to love and to share our lives with for so long.  Jonah has already brought us challenges and so many blessings.  I am head over in heels in love.
