Baby's first picture



We went in for an ultrasound today and it was one of the most amazing events in my life. We have baby's first picture (see left) and heard the fetal heartbeat (sounded strong). I wanted to record the heartbeat so I could play it again at home, because it was breathtaking.



Pregnancy is very surreal - from dad's perspective it doesn't seem like anything is happening. There's some nausea, some odd food preferences (well, mildly odd for my wife). Then I hear a heartbeat of a 1" long baby, my baby for the first time and there is something magical and indescribable about the entire experience. I'm elated, scared and amazed all at the same time. I'm just really looking forward to being a dad.
