Up until this point I wasn't really invested in the pregnancy. It's been kind of like the wedding, all this planning for a day that seems so far away. But at least a wedding you see it coming together ... the invitations, cake, flowers, etc ... is something tangible to see and feel involved. With a baby I'm not experiencing any flux in emotions, any change in hunger, or feeling sick, I don't notice anything different other than my wife's belly growing bigger as the baby develops. Sitting in the ultrasound room and seeing the baby finally made this whole thing real to me. I was not prepared to be able to see the individual chambers of the heart and see all the muscles pumping blood. When I saw him my heart skipped a beat. Now I want to start buying things and getting the apartment ready for his arrival. The day of the ultrasound was the sidewalk sell on Mass. Street so we made sure to hit the handful of baby stores to see what they had on sale. Unfortunately they only had clothes on sale and none of them were for newborns. But that's okay we have a lot of clothes coming from other parents that no longer fit their children.
