I was very nervous when we got to the clinic.
I brought along my Camera, and your grandma’s video cam.
I wanted to remember this day. I’ll show you the pictures when you grow up.

Then this nice lady came in the room and turned on that big machine thing.
It was something used to see if you were doing fine so far.
Your Mother has been carrying you for almost 14 weeks now.
We just wanted to be sure you are okay and everything else around you.
Must be very quiet in there huh? Except when your Mommy’s tummy growls.
Those were the loud bubble noises you must have heard.

Then you stretched. I saw your two little legs.
I think you showed me how you were going to kick that soccer ball huh?

Then you stretched your arm. I saw your tiny little fingers.
You gave me a quick thumbs up. I know you did, Your mother and the nurse lady saw it too.
And we all had a good laugh.

Your Mom’s eyes were watery. I was still staring at you.
My mouth wide open. Because I was so amazed of how beautiful and peaceful you are in there.
I tried to speak, but I couldn’t.
All I remember saying was “I think I need to sit down.”
And they all had a good laugh.

Well, I guess this is it for now.
It was very nice and exciting to see you.
We will still check up on you when we get to visit the Doctor.
You just sit there and do your stuff okay?
Play basketball or something. Play air guitar. Absorb all the vitamins your Mother is taking.
Count your fingers. You’ll need them when you learn math. Or Subnetting.
