Whew...a little scare, and an emotional milestone

Yesterday Victoria was having some cramping and spotting. She called the OB/GYN and was told to watch it, and if it continued to visit in the morning. It diod, and she did. They performed an ultrasound and allowed her to hear the fetal hearbeat - all was well! She left me a message that a gift was to be found on the table at home - an ultrasound picture of our future baby!

A threshhold has been crossed for me with this news. Before this news the baby was a nebulous concept that I have not been too sure about in my mind. I felt a bit removed from the idea. As of this news I feel giddy and excited - it is now a real live person that we can look at and (with the aid of medical technology) listen to! From Victoria's message to me she sounded giddy as well. I can't wait to get home and show the picture to Brianna!
