Houston, We Have a Heartbeat...

It has a heartbeat. When I saw it, I can honestly say, that it was the most important thing I'd ever witnessed in my life. A heartbeat. It wasn't much...just a little flutter...but my GOD did it make everything so much more real. I've been smiling ever since yesterday afternoon. Wow. Just...wow. A heartbeat. It doesn't sound important, but it oh so is.

Here's what we know, thanks to the ultrasound:

• DrummerBaby is about 8.5 weeks old.
• It's 19mm long (I think...)
• The heartbeat means there's less than a 3% chance of miscarriage.
• The approximate due date is August 4th of 2006

It has a heartbeat. I can't stop saying it. And I can't stop smiling. I love DrummerBaby already, and it's not even born yet. :)
