Back to the memories!

I really started this so I could remember some of the more precious moments of Sean's first 14 months with us.  I am not really good at keeping little things in my memory bank.  Mark would say it's because there's too much in there already!  But here are some highlights...

1. When I found out we were expecting our little bundle of joy, it was complete and utter shock!  Happy shock, but shock nonetheless.  I said words I won't put here but I don't think I will ever forget that moment.
2.  When we heard the heartbeat for the first time, we both cried tears of joy.  I was certain that we would go in there and they wouldn't find anything.  It was the most anxious few minutes I have ever had when they put the wand on my stomach until we heard the "woosh woosh" of his little heart!
3. When I was pregnant with Sean, and finally felt him move, it was one of the greatest joys - to know he was OK in there.  After that, it seems he never stopped moving - unless daddy tried to feel him! The hiccups were the most interesting movements and, even after he was born, he had them quite often.
4. Being pregnant was a true joy.  I know that some women really don't enjoy it - I enjoyed the heck out of it.  I was helping to create LIFE and it was a miracle of tremendous proportions.  It affirms that there is a God and that he's pretty stinking clever to create us with the ability to take two small cells and grow another human!  That's not to say the last few weeks I really wanted to be done!
