Our scanner isn't working right now, so I can't put the sonograms up, but I will post those as soon as it is.
We just got back from the doctor, and I just can't explain how filled with joy I am right now. For one - we set a date! Wait, let me do this properly... Ahem:
It's a secret. Actually. we set a date for an amnio, but Dr. Richardson, who is cool, said most likely they'll be ready to come out then. If they're ready to come out then...
That's assuming they don't just up and decide to come earlier for some reason.
So yeah, I'm happy. In addition to that, while the ultrasound tech (who is also cool) was looking at the babies, I watched Baby A turn his head towards the "camera" and got a beautiful view of his little face as the "beam" swept across him. His whole face lit up and I got a perfect view of his face, and I just started crying.
Yes, I cry.
Well, so would you, sissy.
I don't know if it was seeing the face or knowing the date, but man I was just exploding today. I mean I was bawling my eyes out, then as soon as they dried up - I'd be dancing and singing and just randomly whistling.
I'm a complete goober.
I made people!
I say that a lot, but I think it really sunk in today. I was a part of creating people. Like, actual people. It occurred to me on the way home: We didn't just make people - we made lives. These little babies in Rebecca's tummy are gonna be diaper changes and trips to school and dating and marrying and having their own children and having a real impact on the world - and we are going to shape their view of the world. Kinda scary, when you think about it. The responsibility of it all is enormous. I'm ready. I've been ready for a long time. I've always wanted to be a daddy.
In other news, I put together the crib tonight, and the playpen/portable sleeper last night. The crib is pretty.
I made furniture!
