Things get REAL

So its been 22 days since we found out the big news.  Since then, we've experienced the excitement of sharing the news with family and friends, started to look at all the awesome stuff you can get for your baby, and joked about how awesome Sean Jr's Star Wars nursery is going to look.

But it hasn't really seemed like the whole adventure is real....until this afternoon.
 
Trish called me and let me know that she was going to have her first ultrasound this afternoon.  Well, I wasn't expecting this for another 2 weeks but of course I changed my day's plans to be able to share in the moment.  The nurse had told her that she needed to have a full bladder or the ultrasound wouldn't be able to done so Trish decided to chug a Rt 44 cup of ice water from Sonic.  And as we sat there in the waiting room ready to go back, and Trish griping about how she had to go so bad, it still didn't feel out of the norm.  We go called back and as we entered the little dark room with the bed and the machine, it hit me....I'm about to see the life that I helped make.

So let me present Baby K's first picture:

Only the size of a grain of rice but I could see the little hearbeat.  The tech said 142 beats per minute and along with the dates we gave her, put a date of January 8th as the due date.
