The One
Tomorrow we go for our very first sonogram, and I can’t begin to describe the unique excitement that I feel for the moment where we can see what God has done for us. The baby has already changed our lives in so many positive ways. It seems like we are a lot more in tune with each other’s emotions, which I partly attribute to a shared desire to show our appreciation to each other for such a miraculous gift.
But more than that, we are exposed to new responsibilities. Not just those of having and raising a child, but to each other. A significant part of the success of our relationship can be traced to our dogged willingness to work together on all things. Very rarely do we make decisions without at least running it by the other; not for permission of validation, but because we respect each other’s perspective and what it can add to our own.
And now, those perspectives will combine to create a singular set of ideals on parenthood. Tomorrow will be the first confirmation of our shared dream of growing our family. We spent most of our brief time on Earth searching for each other, and that precious gift of fate has wrought yet another moment that we will cherish deeply.
Our first sight of The One.
