Kidney Bean, Anyone?

Today, Dan and I saw something beautiful: A kidney bean with a heartbeat.

That's right. Our 8-week old pregnancy is growing beautifully. We're still holding this little one up in prayer, such a fragile thing, the fetus. But we're also celebrating, taking a breath of air for once instead of holding it.

I won't kid you. It isn't pretty. But that little kidney bean shaped blob on the screen represented life and hope. We're so grateful.

While we tell certain friends the good news, we also ask for continued prayer for the formation of this little life.

Oh, and the other beautiful thing we saw: just ONE baby. Whew!
