just about a year ago...

My emotions calmed a bit seeing this little image on the screen and the importance of making it past 8 weeks (I miscarried at 8 weeks with twins just six months earlier) just a little over a year ago.  There he was.  Of course we didn't know he was a he, but nonetheless fell in love immediately.  Jeff had cracked the ice (rather the fear) with a joke as he entered the room a little after I had settled onto the table, "Hello, Ms. L," and picked up the wand.  It was classic and the fear vanished.  He always has a knack for making me smile when I need it the most.  Not to omit all the prayers I had prayed waiting on this image to appear.

And now he is here.  It seems that a lifetime has passed since I was in that place of no children and waiting.  Then the second pregnancy and trusting in God to let this one make it.  I think God blessed us with a very sweet little man, and it was worth it all.
