Baby’s first picture

So, here he/she is. This is the first picture taken of our baby. This is the time in the pregnancy when I start to get that “new daddy” feeling and it all becomes real to me. It’s been real to Kate for about 6 weeks because she has been experiencing the unmistakable nausea every single day!
While the technician turned on the speakers so that we could hear the baby’s heartbeat for the first time, the baby started moving around on it’s own! That was so awesome to watch that fetus react to the pressure and probably the sounds from the heartbeat playback.
She is 10 weeks along according to the measurements. That places the due date at about April 15Th, 2007. If a baby can move and react like ours did today at only 10 weeks, it can be nothing other than alive.
I’m not an activist but it is clear to anyone who experiences this that abortion is nothing other than cold blooded murder. I’ll save the political stuff for another blog entry, though. I don’t want a bunch of crazy pro-abortion nuts cluttering the comments section of this entry.

Thats great. I have read every blog post you have put up and while I do not know you I very much appreciate the emails you sent telling me more about the situation with Kris. I can see you were a good friend to him and its great you have something positive to help you through this rough time. I agree with you totally anyone who sees their baby on an ultrasound…well..its just amazing…when I saw my son for the first time it felt like nothing else mattered and thats when I grew up and really felt love for the first time, true love….congratulations… Kris would be so proud!!!
