I saw my most recent sub-person bunch of cells today for the first time! It was neat to see this genetically unique, but altogether unimportant (yet) lifeform. I watched its tiny little appendages moving against my wife's full bladder, its heart beating, stimulated by its own pacemaker cells, propelling minuscule amounts of blood through its 9 week-old bloodstream. This non-viable organism will no doubt further alter my wife's body, making her less likely to ever pose for the cover of Cosmopolitan. My limited financial resources will certainly be further strained. There will be one more mouth in this world to consume its finite resources.
It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen...except for my other children and my not-as-skinny-as-she-used-to-be, stretch-mark-covered wife :)
Congratulations! :) How many do you have now?
