My wife and I have now been to the second ultrasound – the first scheduled one we have done in Sweden. We both had some private fears about what we would see. She hadn’t felt any movements in a few days, and neither had I. To ourselves we both feared the worst, but neither one of us dared tell the other until after the ultrasound. I think the fear is natural, especially since we are first-timers, but thankfully our fears were unfounded.
I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. There s/he was! And in 4D! Face! Fingers! Toes! Everything! A 207 gram person waiting to be released into this world. Tears welled up…
The nurse measured and checked and everything appeared normal. But my wife and I both know that nothing will ever be normal again. And we can’t wait.
ETA: September 6.
