8 weeks this past Sunday. Little Subarufetus has a heartbeat. A mass of cells gently hooked up to a yoke sack-the fetus' nutritional source. But a mass of cells with a heartbeat nonetheless. I saw it myself on the sonogram. It was like a butterfly in the middle of these cells. 158 beats per minute to be exact. Now, I realize that fetuses are formed everyday. I was one. You were one. Frank the Cat was one. So what is so grand about this occasion? Nothing. It happens all the time all around the world. And it is this commonness that makes this one creation mesmerizing and awe inspiring for me. If this were the only little mass of cells with a fluttering heart, I would be much less impressed. Life is awesome. It would be good if we could all be reminded of that time and again.

Congrats again! I'm just glad to see a blog again. i thought you had come down with monkey pox or something. Hope the suburufetus takes it easy on Tiffany.
and where does Willy fit in to all of this?
Willy is devising a plan that allows Frank the Cat and baby to co-exist in the same small house.
Thanks. Like you guys we've been traveling a lot. No Monkey pox or bird flu.
