A moment, it is Halloween again. There are no special plans today but my mind is over flowing with ideas for your first Halloween, I even decide I am going to go home and look up Star Wars costumes because I know your Daddy would love that. "Andrea!" I rise from the chair, making my way through the swarm of other pregnant women with their tummy's so round with life. I wonder, how will I look by the time you are ready to appear? I smile at the nurse who takes my weight and blood pressure, and soon I am sitting on the table. I always hated the sound of crinkling the white paper, but today it doesn't phase me. Daddy sits across from me, anxious and excited, will today be the day? Our doctor makes his way into the room, I lay back and pull my shirt up just above my belly button. He applies jelly, presses the wand against my tummy and there it is, your heart beat. I had heard it once before with Nona but this was Daddy's first time, his eyes lit up like Christmas. A smile spread from ear to ear and again, I found myself wanting to cry at the beautiful noise.
