glimpse of {u}

today, we are all excited to go to the sonologist. i'm glad that we are all in this as a family - with richie and euan all set to go with me at the hospital.

today, we found out that we are having a BOY (again!), much to euan's delight. he was the happiest when he heard that we are having a boy - with a resounding YES!!, a clutched fist and a cheeky smile. but he suddenly wished it was a girl so mama can have a partner. so sweet of him to think of that. but later when would ask him if he's happy to have a baby brother, he'd always answer YES with a grin!

today, we saw a glimpse of the baby in my womb - a lot of moving, kicking, yawning, thumbsucking, and best of all, SMILING at us! the flash of that big smile melts my heart. and seeing both richie and euan's wide-eyed stares makes it a wonderful experience altogether.

today, we all talked about the experience endlessly. how i was amazed at richie and euan's candid expressions during the whole ultrasound, how euan's eyes popped and jaws dropped when he heard baby's heartbeat saying, "that's baby!", or how perfect the timing was when baby flashed that big smile while euan was candidly singing (for lack of anything to do) or how different this experience was during euan's time. richie is one proud dad, saying that he feels that this baby seems a bit more personable. i think he is still awed seeing the baby smile :) i am still overwhelmed by it!

that one precious smile... if only i could get a glimpse of what my baby was thinking then... but i could sense that he is eager to see us, happy that we are all there to catch a glimpse of him, excited all the more to show us that there is indeed a miracle inside my womb - one healthy bouncing happy baby boy!
