The last post said that our appointment for the ultrasound was canceled. Well, we were able to reschedule the appointment. As a family, we drove downtown on a snowy Friday. It is amazing...no not amazing...extraordinary to sit in a room and see your baby on a television screen. Stacy has not felt the baby yet, even though she is 22 weeks along. Through the powers of technology, we were able to see the baby move around. As we were watching the screen, we heard the heartbeat. Wow. It sounded as intense as the beginning of Guns N Roses' Coma. Wow.
Some may wonder what the sex of the baby is, but we decided not to find out. Sara was a surprise, and we thought that it was be neato to have another surprise. I was also hoping to scan in the ultrasound, but that just hasn't happened yet. Maybe later.

Bad News
Oh wait, maybe I shouldn't title this bad news because it's not that bad of news. The hospital canceled our ultra sound today because too many techs were out sick. We have to wait until Tuesday now.

Miracle
Stacy and I spent two years in the adoption process of Sara Lyn. We received the referral on July the 7th and about a month later we received news that Stacy was pregnant. The timing was absolutely perfect. If it turned out that Stacy was pregnant before July the 7th, then we were obligated to stop the adoption process. Like I said, the timing was perfect.
I never thought we would have a child naturally. I thought we would adopt our entire family, but I guess that wasn't the true plan. Well now we have had Sara Lyn for 3 weeks and it is starting to feel normal.
To be honest, I have not given Stacy's pregnancy much thought. I have been so obsessed with acclamating Sara that I haven't been able to think about the new baby. There are two things that are changing these thoughts. First, Stacy is starting to get BIG. It is strange and beautiful to see Stacy growing/glowing. Second, tomorrow we are heading, as a family, to see our first real picture of you. At the beginning of the pregnancy, we saw an unltrasound, but they had to type, "Baby" so that we knew where the baby actually was in the picture. Tomorrow we are going to see the real thing. The baby should look more like an alien than a dot.
Stacy is really nervous about tomorrow. She is just worried that something might be wrong with the baby. She doesn't really have any reason for this apprehension, but that doesn't make it go away. I'm not really nervous; I'm pretty excited about seeing the pictures. I think it is going to make this process very real.
