When we first suspected that Rio would be pregnant, I believe I was scared.  Scared as heck.  And nervous.  That anxiety remains, but the fear has transformed into urgency, joined by excitement and anticipation.  When she went in for the 8 week checkup, I was floored.  I was completely awed.  Here we saw the product of our love for each other, made manifest and alive.  We saw and we heard.  The heart that pumped blood through tiny veins.  The heart that was Rio's heart and the heart that was my heart.  I am in total awe when I revisit the sound and images in my head.  THIS IS SO AMAZING!
