My wife Aubree has always been a great gift giver. She once gave me a watch with a movie quote that meant a lot to me engraved on the back. Then there was the time she gave me a keychain with the exact latitude and longitude of the place we met in case we ever lost our way in life.

For Valentine's Day she outdid herself.

First, she gave me the most beautiful handwritten sentiments in a memories book about what our family means to us. Then she gave me this framed picture of all the kids. She is step-mom to my older kids, Jack and Mina. Together we had Atticus who is 17 months old. And she's due with our second child together in 6 weeks.

So I'm staring at this picture and wondering why she had included two of Atticus; one on his sled and one from when we visited View A Miracle in East Brunswick. That's where you can get 3D and 4D ultrasounds and actually see a real image of your baby and not those x-ray looking typical ultrasounds. It had been a great experience but I was wondering why she had included that pic. But then something was different. It was close, but the lips looked a little different.

I must have had the dumbest look on my face trying to figure it out because then Aubree said with a smile, "That's Cooper."

Yep, weeks ago she had sneaked off to View A Miracle again to have this done. So part of my Valentine's Day gift was seeing my baby boy's face before he's even here. We had been to View A Miracle much earlier in the pregnancy to find out the gender (in fact that's where we bought all the balloons in the box for the gender reveal we did) but you could never have made out his face back then. Here he was, the little guy I'll be meeting in just a few weeks. So my wonderful wife gave me the best present ever. Not only a picture of all the kids. She let me view our little miracle.
