Life

Today we had our first ultrasound and here is the result, the first "picture" of our baby. It's surprisingly clear to me although I had the privilege of seeing the heartbeat and the arms waving around. No news on whether its a boy or girl, that won't be until 4 months. Sarah is ten weeks and one day pregnant according to the measurements. That puts the due date around Valentine's Day.

I don't think much of abortion as a political issue. But there's no doubt in my mind that this is a living person right now. One only needs to see the heartbeat and the movement to be amazed that something this small and this "new" is already a baby.
