Tiny fluttering heartbeat ... one of the most miraculous sights I've ever seen. Watching the flickering light inside my uterus on the ultrasound screen brought tears to Liz's eyes and overwhelmed me with gratitude. Today marked 6 weeks and 2 days, and our baby is 4.2 mm in size, complete with neural tube, heart, and cells that are quickly forming all of the organs. The miracle of intelligent design and the biology behind how these cells just inherently know how to form a human being is so incredible, it almost feels like science fiction.
After our first pregnancy ultrasound, we found ourselves ecstatically hugging and clinging to each other in Whole Foods at Columbus Circle. The excitement of seeing our little nugget for the first time made it all real, and we can't wait for the adventure that lies ahead!
