Well, all the signs were there before these past few weeks, but now it's official and without doubt -- L. and I are expecting a baby!
L. and I took a taxi to an international medical center. We saw Dr. P. who gave us great advice on what to expect. She did a brief exam on L. and sent her to have an ultrasound. That was a truly amazing and emotional experience. To see the tiny, millimeters-long fetus pulse with a heartbeat that shook its whole tiny frame...wow...
We went to McDonalds to get L. that Big Mac she'd been craving for. I found myself unable to finish saying grace...as as soon as I began thanking God for the miracle we'd witnessed, I broke down. L. was great in finishing.
We stayed at home for the afternoon (boy, it's hot and humid today). We talked to the family since they were all at Mom and Dad's for Labor day, celebrating a couple May b'days. We told them the news of the pregnancy and the doctor's visit. The nieces are looking forward to a cousin and H. wondered what the baby would look like...."brown with yellow spots?" (Apparently, we're expecting a leopard or tiger sometime the beginning of January =D)
We talked to L. parents later. Turns out they might be in the U.S. till the end of August...that changes our plans a bit.
