Mills’ Place Indexing Life.

Big News!Posted by Mills on August 18th, 2008

I’ve been dying to write this post for about a week now.  But I kept pushing it off, waiting until I knew exactly what I wanted to say, because I was afraid of not getting it right.  When you’ve come across one of the biggest life changing moments a person can ever have, surely the only post good enough is some grand pontification about the meaning of it all.  But frankly, I don’t have it in me at the moment and I really can’t hold it in any longer.  All I want to do it shout it out to the world, soooo…

We’re having a baby!

How f-in cool is that!?  Actually, we found out for semi-sure the morning of Ironman Rhode Island five weeks ago.  But we wanted to wait a little longer to make sure thing were progressing normally before saying anything.  And so far, it’s all good.  We had an ultrasound two weeks ago and saw the heart beating.  A little beating heart… inside a blueberry-sized alien looking thing… inside of Dee.  That’s absolute craziness.

The baby is due March 20.  And right now, Dee is about 9 weeks along, which means it’s slightly less alien-like than a couple weeks ago and more grape sized than blueberry.

(7 week ultrasound.  The baby is the measured blob.  The thing above it isn’t a head, it’s a yolk sac.  Yeah.  I said WTF is a yolk sac too)
