Seeing Pink!

Our world has changed forever. On Wednesday, October 10th we went to the doctor who was in a huge rush as they now have slotted them only 15 minutes with their patients instead of 20 b/c of doctors deployed or spread way too thin. He was rushed but jolly somehow answering all our questions with a smile. We really like you Dr. Bayer. He's the Lt. Col of my Pod 2 so experience he has. Into the ultrasound room we went. I layed down quickly pulling up my shirt, not caring that the gel was ice cold. I know that in some places they keep it warm. Oh well! I'm at an AFB and this is not costing us anything. Wow our baby looks like a very active stuffed animal. We can see the hands and feet moving all around. In the last 3-4 days I can definitely feel more than I was. There is a very active little person in there. He moves the device around so we can see the "important area" and zooms in. Pretty obvious it's a little baby girl who is busy kicking and punching and stretching and exploring her space.

How did I get to the 2nd best day of my life so quickly? First I somehow manage to meet the man of my dreams in a desert halfway around the world who is as crazy about me as I am about him. He wants nothing more than to marry me and now thanks to the wonders of technololgy we're staring at a screeen where our daughter is moving around like a very busy teddy bear. I cannot express how happy I am or how fortunate I feel to be sharing this with the person I love most in this world, my best best friend, and coffee buddy every morning. We are blessed beyond words and the feeling is very overwhelming. The Lily countdown has started. Only 4 more months to go! We can't wait to meet you.
