A Life Revealed

today we went for an ultrasound of vivian's belly. it was very real. suddenly we went from a chemistry test pregnancy to a very visual little life (5.18 centimeters crown to rump) that was surprisingly active given its size. i mean, the kid's a peanut. fortunately, the only peanut in there. anyway, so this is a real life, with little limbs and fingers, and a little pulsating heart that looks like a small swish of fluid in his (so I've dubbed IT) little chest. we're excited. and happy. God is good.
