Ultra-incredible

You know it's real because all the symptoms are there. All the pregnancy tests came back positive. There's been some icky and ucky feelings in the morning, along with an extremely heightened sense of hunger and sleepiness. There was tenderness in some areas. But until you actual see it on the screen, it all might be, could be, one sick, elaborate prank.

Not anymore. We have pictures now. We saw it with our own eyes on that screen. There's a baby in there.

I didn't even realize we were going live until the images just appeared on the ultrasound screen. I almost did "Ohhhh" when I realized it was happening here and now. You get in that room and they get right down to it. When most of the females you see have bladders at maximum capacity, that probably forces your hand some regarding moving things along.

I saw shapes. Shapes I didn't understand. But then I saw the opening. And the little present tucked inside. The head won't be that big when they're born, she said. Yeah right, we knew. It even moved a little bit. THERE IS A LIVING, GROWING HUMAN BEING IN MY WIFE'S BELLY!! I MEAN, SERIOUSLY!! I think my mouth was hanging open the entire time. It's still so unbelievable, so incredible, so larger than anything I've known before.

And we've only just begun
