Week 34

Ok - we have the results! The ultrasound went really well, Peanut cooperated nicely. They videotaped it, which is really cool. You can see the heart beating, the ribs and spine, the face, and yes ! we could plainly see the sex. I wish I had the ability to put the video on here too, I will look into it. Ultrasound pics will soon follow.

The name is already decided, but I am sworn to secrecy until at least Christmas.

I would like to share the lyrics to a song that has really touched me during this week. It is by the band Creed - on the Human Clay album. It's a very emotional and powerful song, and I think it expresses a lot of what I'm feeling right now.

With arms wide open

Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open

Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open

If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open...
