a moment of clarity

"All of life can be broken down into moments of transition or moments of revelation. This had the feeling of both."
That quote (recognizable if you know your SF, but immaterial if you don't) seemed appropriate to sum up my experience today.
Superwife and I went to see the OBGYN today. And that's where I heard the heartbeat of my unborn child for the first time. Un. Believable.
As completely unprepared for the experience as I was, I tried to make myself as aware of what was going on so that I'd remember it later. And I hope I do for the rest of my life:
- The look on Superwife's face as we got to share that moment together.
- The realization that my own heart had stopped for an instant when I realized what the sound actually was.
- Feeling an enormity of raw emotion sweep across me.
Very powerful experience.
And just think, I'm like this now and I haven't even met the kid yet.
