A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words

So it's almost the seventh week.  We went in for our sonogram today and for the first time saw the initial sighting of a life force.  I could NOT believe that they could find a heart beat.  How insanely crazy is that!  This was the first time that I realized that being a father was directly in front of me.  That this little guy is alive and his heart is beating in there, and that before too long, he or she will come out and hang out!!

Besides the slight panic of the heartbeat, I felt an overwhelming joy come over me - like I couldn't even quite fathom how awesome this was going to be.  I'm curious as to what Kara was thinking, and whether or not she was freaking out.  I suppose that I'll find out when she reads this!!

We are getting close to being able to tell everyone, and I'm really excited about that.  I know our family is going to be super supportive and excited for us.  I also know most of Kara's friends are going to be super excited, and most of my friends are going to think that I'm an idiot.  But regardless, I can't wait to be a father.

No judging on the image above for those who do post the sonogram, I just think it's really weird to blast you uterus all over the internet.  I guess I'm crazy, and just think of the uterus as more of a private thing?  Who knows.  :)

Cheers!
