You don't actually have feet yet, but you do have a heartbeat, and the doctor told us it was a good heart beat. Steady, strong, regular. He also told us everything was perfect, exactly as it should be. What an amazing word to hear when someone is talking about your baby. Perfect.
Seeing you there, comma shaped and wiggling, and hearing your heart beating, was the first time we were really sure you existed. It was like completing one more stage in the journey to meeting you and now we know when that will be too. August.
Before seeing you it was hard to believe I could have been any happier about what was going on. Looking away from the screen where the images of you were being displayed and seeing the huge smile on your mother's lips, a smile she couldn't have stopped even with both hands over her face, made me feel so great I wish everyone could have shared that feeling right then. With that smile your mother was telling me how happy she was. She was telling me that she loved you and that she loved me. How great is that, hey? We should tell her the same when we get a chance.
Now that we know that everything up to now is 'perfect' I decided to tell a few close friends their children were going to have a Peruvian cousin. Andy, Matt, Adam and Chris. I still haven't talked to Chris, but I will soon. They were all so happy it took me a little by surprise. Amazing really, you are not even out of your wiggling chrysalis yet and already you are making people as far away as England throw their arms up in the air and cheer like they were watching sports. (It was your uncle Leon that did that. He was happy to hear about you.) You are the result of two people being very much in love and so far, apart from making your mother tired and a little bit sick, you have just been the cause of joy in the world. This world could do with some joy. Not a bad record. I doubt many that are much older than you have such a good one. Let's see how long you can keep it up!
