That's the size of my grand baby, according to the Dr anyway. We went for the very first OB visit and scan today. I won't discuss the disaster that is our health care system that is causing my daughter a lot of grief & costing her $731 just for the 1st visit NOT including her lab work! That's an additional $300 to $400!!! Instead I will talk about being able to get a sneak peak at my grandchild.
Elatia is, as I believe I mentioned before somewhere if not here, 7.3 weeks along, not as far along as the clinic thought. The due date now is March 7, 2011. We got to see the baby's heart beat, which was so exciting! Surprisingly though I did not cry, none of us did. Maybe because what we were looking at did not look human yet. Now when I looked at the picture again at home and had time to really look at it, I could see the baby and that actually did make me tear up.
At one point the Dr. opened his eyes really big, like a surprised look, that was a little startling, but I guess I was the only one who noticed him doing that. I didn't want to scare Elatia, so I didn't say anything. After all, if he did see something out of the ordinary, he'd say something, right?
It's amazing that something that small and looks like that turns into a beautiful human baby. You can't help but be in awe of it all.
It's All Good in the Grammy-hood!
Yea! And then the tiny baby turns into a little kid...and so on...It is truly amazing how we grow...and it's amazing to watch as well! :))
ReplyDeleteIt is so magnificent to see it as a grandparent now and being a LightWorker as well and knowing what we know. It's a whole new ball game for us. Andrew has taught us so much since he left here, and we can appreciate this on a whole new level!
ReplyDeleteI think that even the most experienced OB doc is amazed with every miracle of life, no matter how many "lima beans' s/he has seen.
ReplyDeleteOne would hope anyways!
