I am tearing up over all kinds of baby-related things. Practically every time I read some of The Pregnancy Book (I am way ahead of myself now--I figure I'll skim it all and then read each month again as I get there) I come across something that strikes me as just unbearably wonderful. I have so much to look forward to!
I still can't get over the fact that I finally managed to conceive naturally (without the fertility drugs that I was preparing to take) and that it's all working, it's REALLY HAPPENING! I have made a beating heart from scratch!!! with a little help from my best friend, of course.

Luckily he's as overwhelmed as I am and doesn't laugh at me. It's so amazing! How did we get so lucky?!
And the really miraculous thing is, this amazing luckiness happens all the time. When I look at my own hands and think how they developed from those stubby little disks, when I look at all the people around me and realize that each of them was made from scratch just like this...how could I not get emotional about it?
