The next two months went by in a blur. After notifying all of our family and friends we went to the doctor's at seven weeks for the first ultrasound. I will admit, I was a little nervous. The last time I had been in a hospital was when Jen died, which was a difficult time in all of our lives.

On our drive to the hospital, we held hands in the car feeling each other's anticipation and nervousness. Joey's appointment was at ten-thirty and we got there around quarter past.

The waiting room was empty, so we sat together anticipating the meeting with the doctor. As we sat there waiting, a faint baby cry echoed down the hall. I smiled and nudged Joey's shoulder, she smiled back.

We were called down moments later, to room eight I remember, to meet with Joey's obstetrician. Again we sat waiting, but for a shorter time than before. Then he walked in, "Hello Joey." He said cheerfully. "Hello Dr. Greenberg, this is my husband Pacey," I shook his hand. "Nice to meet you, James Greenberg." His handshake was strong as he nodded to me.

I watched quietly as through the exam, until we had to walk to another room to get the first ultrasound. I could see the anxious feeling in Joey's face, her face was glowing and she gripped my hand tighter.

I remember it perfectly. Joey was told to sit in a chair and she slowly reclined back. I watched as the doctor rubbed a thick gooey thick gel onto Joey's stomach. She made a funny face and stuck her tongue out. "Oo, it's cold." She said. "This will just take a few minutes." The doctor said.

My eyes were glued to the television screen to make out any picture at all. But all I could see was a mixed mass of black and gray until the doctor spoke up. "Ok, there it is right there." He said as he pointed to the smallest white dot you could possibly see. I chuckled to myself as I blurted out, "that's it?"

"Wow, there's it's first picture Pace." Joey said to me. I smiled and took her hand, She was right, it really was an amazing sight, if I could see it or not.

After the appointment, I took Joey out to lunch at Giacomo's, our favorite restaurant to have lunch.

After we had finished, I couldn't stop thinking about how this would change my life. Joey was glowing; as much as she tried, she couldn't hide it.

Again that night I lay awake in bed with my arm around my wife; one, thinking about how my hours of sleep would be drastically cut down and two, I started to think about possible names.

Yes, even to this day I still do not know where my parents got 'Pacey' from.

I liked Ryan, John, Andrew, anything really. I didn't know what names Joey liked; we hadn't really discussed it yet.

Joey stirred next to me. I looked over at her and kissed her forehead. My eyes started to feel heavy; I slowly shut my eyes, and fell asleep within minutes to Joey's relaxing and rhythmic breathing.
