So we made it to our first appointment. I think I may have sounded flippant or seemed aloof but it's still a very weird thing - the notion of this thing that's growing in me. Our doc did an internal ultrasound, found the baby, and could hear the heartbeat. I think this was the first time the hubby really had a sense that this was real and happening. HE'S got no symptoms and I think used to look at me like I was making it all up. I can't believe he'd think I have the propensity to do such a thing. Actually, I'm not really that creative - he should know that by now. Wow.
Show me the evidence!!
I'm not sure if I should defend myself here or not. Seems like a "yes", but I don't know what to say. Seriously, it's not that I thought she was "making it all up" but how do you connect to the reality of something like this without some sort of actual proof?!? I'm largely a scientist in thinking so I need to see something tangible and a little plus sign on a stick that someone allegedly peed on is hardly proof enough.
However, show me a heart beating on a little screen and turn on the sound of the thwapping little bugger and oh boy! That turns on the reality switch real fast.
So for the record, I'll post to the public-at-large that I'm a tad more thoughtful than all that and I'm fairly certain there's a joke in this post above mine... isn't there?
Yes that was a joke! I'll try
Yes that was a joke! I'll try to have more light-heartedness come thru on writing in the future too. I'll absolutely confirm that he's definitely a lot more than a tad more thoughtful. More like a boatload!
!
Whew!
Oy... that's a relief. I was starting to wonder if I'm even worse at communicating than I thought! I know I need to do better at making you feel good and stuff. My apparent disbelief in this whole pregnancy thing is certainly somewhat real though. I'm in shock, to a large degree. (I suppose I should be writing my own blog about that, eh?)
Thanks for softening the blow a bit.
