With Precision and Intelligence

Becoming a father has already taught me more than I expected. From the very beginning, the experience has been filled with excitement, uncertainty, and awe. The first pregnancy test brought joy, followed by weeks of anxiety when we didn’t know if the pregnancy would hold. After an early loss, waiting for the second pregnancy to be confirmed felt like living in suspension. Hope and fear side by side. It wasn’t until the first ultrasound, when we heard the heartbeat, that something settled inside me. That sound made everything real.

Since then, watching the baby grow has been astonishing. From a tiny embryo no larger than my pinky nail to a fully formed baby, nearly seven pounds now—it feels almost unreal. Every ultrasound shows more detail. Bones forming, the spine aligning, the heart beating steadily, the lungs developing. The baby even practices breathing before ever entering the air, the diaphragm moving rhythmically in preparation for life outside the womb.
