Owen's Monkey Business

Today we saw Dr. Metcalf and had a 12 week scan.

We saw the nurse practitioner for our first office visit at 7 weeks.

intake exam and labwork scheduled for Wed. 10/8 at 9 am Right now, you are everything, you are everything I've dreamed Right now, you are everything, everything, I need Right now, every everything, you are everything we've dreamed Every everthing, every everything, every everything we need.

We found out yesterday! I am about 4 weeks now, according to what I understand. We are so excited. It was extra special to find out yesterday because 9/27 is Derek's parents' anniversary. We celebrated at our friends' wedding last night; it was our little secret!

In about five days we'll know where we stand. In the meantime, I've tried not to focus on outcomes, just the feeling of the experience as it happens. I've tried to remain detached from the possible outcomes, and just let them flow. So far, so good.

First Draft Wanting you, Waiting for you, Oh, tiny child of ours Nestled in a cozy world You grow like a wishflower our hands warm you like sunshine our hearts golden with love You are the bright rose in our garden the wishflower of our love Grow bambina, bask in light and love Grow bambino, there is time enough 7/16/08 9:30 a.m.

we officially start TTC! So excited. We are co-writing a baby blessing lullaby that we will sing before, during, and after this experience. Our idea is to paint the music like a composition on the nursery walls, maybe going around the room like a border or just in swirly notation above the crib. I am thinking gold paint for that. so excited.
