Sharing the news with Kevin.....

After leaving the doctor’s office parking lot with the exciting life changing news, I went to the nearest pharmacy to purchase two pacifiers, tissue paper to wrap them up, and a gift bag to put them in to along with a copy of the ultrasound on the bottom, so I could tell Kevin in a special way. I remember being so excited that I even told the check-out clerks of my plan.... Driving home, I had tears in my eyes, my hands were shaking, and my knees were absolute jello. I couldn't wait to get home to tell Kevin the news. I remember pulling into the garage, and running up the stairs into the kitchen to him, and without saying a word hugging him. I handed him the little gift bag I had just put together moments ago. Smiling, and a hesitated "Oh boy, what's this?" he took the bag and started opening it. He opened the tissue paper wrapped pacifiers first, and figured there were two different color ones in case we had a boy or a girl. He kept digging and found the ultrasound picture. He laid it on the counter, and just stared at it. After about 15-20 seconds, he pointed at one of the babies. "Wait,.. is that it?" he asked.. "That's one of them",... I responded. The look on his face was priceless. We spent the rest of the afternoon talking about this miracle that we were blessed with, and how enriched our lives will be forever... Needless to say,.. Kevin came to every doctors' appointment after that!
