Awesome: inspiring great admiration
It is so exciting to be pregnant.
Again.
2 weeks ago Brian and I went to the first doctor's appointment. We got to see our little one via ultrasound. The features are not defined... but it simply AMAZES me how beautiful an 8 week old baby is.
At barely an inch, this baby has grown to have moving arm and leg buds. There was a very strong heart beat. And then we got good look at the baby's spinal cord.
Spinal Cord. It was phenomenal. It was a tiny curved white line on the screen, but it was beautiful and AWESOME. How far our little one has come, by the first appointment! I am sure there are plenty of people reading this thinking, "okay, she's gone off the deep end..." or "um, I don't get it." But neither do I! The blessedness and amazing thing of seeing our child on a screen, seeing a creation in the making, knowing that my body is providing a safe environment while the Father knits him or her together through no effort of my own.......
It can be none other that mystifying... incomprehensible...
Awesome.
Our doctor gave us a roll of pictures. And two special ones for Grace and Justice so that they would also have a picture of their sibling.
