It's now 21:25 and I'm sitting here alone after a hectic day, pondering. Today L and I went for out 12/13 week scan (wombie is now 12 weeks, 6 days old, and 6,6cm long) and it was... well just amazing! Today, I witnessed this incredible miracle growing inside the person I love the most and wondering if I could love anymore.
Now let me be honest ... I am a little buzzed - a couple of OBS inside me! But still nothing can take away what I saw today:
2 x legs
2 x arms
2 x brain hemispheres
1 x the cutest little tummy
and that amazing sound of melody - again!
So much has changed in such a short space of time. So much growth seems to be happening all too quickly, but still not fast enough.
This awesome life is growing all by itself and already wombie seems to know more about what's going on than I do. I mean, how is it possible? I have 30+ years on this little one, and yet he seems to be getting the upper-hand; always knowing how to surprise me. I stand in awe!!!
When we speak of miracles, I always imagine like the really big things - the T.V inspired sort of miracles. But what I saw today transpires everything I have ever witnessed before. The grace and natural ease at which this little wombie is making its mark, makes me feel incredible small. I begin to doubt every piece of "profundity" (yes it must be a word) I have ever proclaimed before. This little miracle is making its mark on our hearts already. In just a few weeks. What will a lifetime hold?
What I have learnt so far: That I still have so much more to learn but love is an awesome feeling!
p.s. pictures of the scan will follow soon - when the time is closer to when I can actually function and the alcohol hasn't dulled all my senses. Sleep well my babes!
