Today, Wednesday, we
saw you. Who knows. Maybe for the rest of your mother's pregnancy
we'll be carrying your photograph around in our pockets, whipping
it out like proud grandparents at the least provocation in order
to show how cute you are. Not that you're all that cute - or more
to the point, that we can really see that much of you. Your mother
was ultrasounded again today, and this time I went with her. And
right up there on the screen I was able to see just about all of
you as the technician spun his magic wand over and around your mother's
womb. It was good that we had him as a tour guide because we might
not have been able to really make much out of you. At first we simply
had to believe him when he told us that we were looking at your
head, or arm or leg. But after a while we got adjusted to the picture
and it was very clear that it was really you that we were looking
at. And you know what? You looked fine not only to your parents
but to the technician as well. He says that all your parts are properly
in place, and again and again we saw your heart (little more than
a tiny dot) beating rhythmically. You can imagine that seeing that
was a very special event.
