Henry's official due date is February 17. We are coming down to the final days with our son. We enjoy every jump, roll and kick. Sometimes we can even make out the impression of his foot. We know that our time with Henry is short. Every moment is meaningful.
We have expected that Sarabeth may be induced to get things moving. At the last OB appointment, our doctor suggested a date - February 13. Which would mean that Henry would likely be born on Valentine's Day. That might be good. His birthday would always be associated with a holiday, as trivial as it is.
Naming a date makes our time seem more limited. We love Henry so much. We have gotten to know him through many ultrasounds and procedures. Our last opportunity to visit Henry before his birth will be February 4. We have another 3D ultrasound scheduled. That will be our last chance for pictures and video before Henry is born. Because of these appointments we have been able to see Henry grow and development. To admire is long legs, his hands and feet. To see him be an active baby. And we will be able to put these images together in a slide show to enjoy. We have been able to be parents, to learn about our baby, and to love him thoroughly. And for that, we are thankful.
