Say What Now?

I had my first doctor's visit today. Actually, I never saw a doctor, just a nurse. Her name was Sylvia, which was your great grandmother's name. Your name if you're a girl. The first visit included an ultrasound, but I didn't expect to see anything. I'd been feeling a little nauseous, but I have that often. I thought I made the whole thing up. As soon as that thought passed my mind, the nurse said, "There's your baby!" I looked up at the screen, and sure enough, there you were. A bean. Then she let me hear your fast heart beat. It was so cool and so unreal. You are truly there, growing inside me.
