Lovin' life...

There's my favorite momma 2B searching for an outfit for our little one. Aint she sweet? As you can see by this picture, and of course the ultrasound pics below, both mother and baby are coming along quite well thank God. So much is happening now, but the biggest news is that Sonia is carrying a boy! A SON! Some people still believe in waiting to know the sex of their child until birth and thats cool, but waiting nine months and waiting nine years are slightly different I think eh? For us there was no question. We had to know. So we had a long talk with the baby through Sonia's belly the night before the ultrasound was to be done, and told him in no uncertain terms that his cooperation was mandatory. "Come tomorrow, assume the positon! Let's see the money!"
The next day, as soon as the technician put the device on Sonia's tum, we looked up at the monitor and (insert your own triumphant music here!) it's Xavier baby!
Good thing I was sitting down, cause I was totally unprepared for the feeling that knowing I have a son on the way would bring. Seeing this new soul taking form reminded me of my own as I felt the best single tear of my life roll down my face. Much the way his mother does, I can already see this child will encourage my true nature against a world of dictation. Freedom to live is indeed freedom to love.
ANYWAY, "thank yous" and "love yous" go out to all our family and friends who are sharing this with us. This is even more special because of your involvement.
Yeah, it's all coming together and there's so much to do, but at the end of the day, when it's quiet and we're just layin there thinkin about the future, Sonia will feel the baby moving around, and we're reminded that a new bond is being formed along with the new life. The baby responds to my voice! His most dramatic movements have been when I talk directly over Sonia's belly. Thats my boy! It's a trip, and we're grateful for every moment.
