Even in the last five years, technology has improved. At my first prenatal visit, nine weeks along and the baby just a couple of inches in length, I got to see his tiny fists moving around, and hear a heartbeat! I was feeling pretty crummy, and that little window into the miracle of new life made all the inconvenience and ickiness fade in importance. What's a few more varicose veins, anyway?
It is incomprehensible that the tiny little creature can already be so complete--organs, moving limbs, and that beautiful heartbeat that takes your breath away.
All that magic and wonder zipped me up on all the griping and moaning. For an hour or so, anyway.
