Have you seen the movie UP? We love this movie. The most amazing thing this movie does is tell a story of a couple and gets you personally connected and attached in the first ten minutes. I have seen this movie twice now. And there is one scene in the beginning that grabs my heart, very tightly. Even today in the video store, UP was playing and without even seeing that particular scene, just knowing it was coming up (I looked away during the actually scene) and I was fighting back tears. Its about a five or ten second scene where the wife is sitting in a doctor's office after finding out a baby will not be in her future. I'm sitting here thinking about it, and I am once again fighting tears. The first time I saw this, I cried borderline hysterically, in the movie theater. The second time watching with my parents at their house... I had tears running down my face with that big lump in your throat, and I think I even left the room.
But seeing that... where I am today, carrying a big round belly, anxiously waiting the arrival of our baby... it was just that much more emotional. I was once in that doctor's office... but here I am today getting ready to meet a brand new life that we created.
Now in the movie, they accepted being a family of two. And in real life... that is a real choice, and for many couples it is the right choice. And a choice no one but that couple can make. But I knew in my heart, that was not the end for us. We didn't know how, but we knew we would be parents. And here we are... maybe hours or days from that moment. Its a magical feeling.
