lollardfishDear friends,
Shannon, my fiancee, is pregnant. In fact, she's about 22-weeks pregnant. We've known for about 3 weeks. That puts her as due on January 14th, although it's + or - three weeks.
There's a longer story about how we did not know that I would be happy to tell you in person. Suffice it to say that I did notice that Shannon had put on some weight directly in the belly and was a bit confused about it, because we were exercising regularly and eating well. Then four people in Italy asked if she was pregnant, and I stuck to the party line and told them no. We were sick at the time and her stomach had swollen. Doubt did creep into my mind, but it's not an easy thing to ask one's beloved if she's really sure she's not pregnant. We got back from Italy, she felt a little wierd (as her organs compressed), and finally took a test.
Today she had the first ultrasound, and we saw everything - he's a boy, he's got a head, a spine, some limbs, and, well, boy-parts. We could see and hear his little heart. Both Shannon and the baby are healthy.
Today may have been the most amazing experience of my life so far and I'm quite overwhelmed. I expect the next most amazing experience to take place on January 14th, plus or minus 3 weeks.
