Happy Mothers Day to all mothers out there, it's been an eye opening weekend already - and it's only Saturday. Yesterday we had a Dr. appt where we thought we would have an ultrasound, instead we just had a check-up and got to hear the heartbeat. In 27 years, I haven't hear anything so wonderful. We both had a smiles from ear to ear as we walked out of the office hand in hand. Melissa and the baby are doing great! We promise to add the next ultrasound picture as we get it next visit.
This morning we went to our hospital for the first of four baby classes. Funniest thing was when they asked us to grab our pillows and blankets for floor exercises... hmm, didn't bring those. That was an indication that we were in the wrong class for the day.
Nonetheless, we were going to take this class in the future - so we hung around and laughed it off with the instructor. I said eye opening... as a boy, I learned a few things. I have an even deeper respect for mothers after seeing the birth and delivery of several children on video. Yikes. I think I am an "above the sheet" kind of husband. The messy birth was overshadowed by the amazing life that followed. Awesome!
We were asked today to share something we are excited about. While I said holding our child for the first time, Melissa said that she couldn't wait to see me change a diaper... a messy one. True story, that will be an interesting adventure :)
I'll leave you with a few pictures we got as gifts, the bibs and converse shoes we mentioned in our blog a few weeks ago. Duncan even got a chance to try the shoes on.
Much love
- Adam and Melissa
