Hello Beautiful,
Today Daddy and I heard your heartbeat!!! You are 12 weeks and 6 days and the sound of your heart knocked us out. You sounded so little to me. So sweet and little. I started to cry. Dad said, "I feel like a dad!" and then he started to cry and even our midwife started tearing!!! It was a moment to remember forever.
I laid down and the midwife said she could feel my uterus protruding (exactly the pop I
have been feeling!), "I know!" I replied, "I love it!" So I had Dad feel it too and we searched for you with the heart monitor. We switched probes (or whatever medical term they are called) and found you oddly with a less receptive one. Dad heard it first of course shouting out, "Thats it! That's him...or her." The midwife conquered while I lost my words and smile and just cried. They noted how strong and loud your heart sounded and I just felt you in that sweet pony gallop. You sounded so little like my little baby. Daddy kissed me and held me and the midwife hugged me. You make everything so special! I feel like you will resemble your father in appearance and that you might be a boy...we'll see.
I had to go to work after which felt like agony. I felt so delighted and weepy. All I wanted to do was celebrate YOU all day long. I wanted to eat something healthy for you and do things for you all day. But sadly, the clocked ticked and all we had time for was a quick run into cosi for a strawberry banana smoothie and sandwich. I was ordering and leaving and a woman stopped me and smiled saying, "You are sunshine! You light up this cloudy, overcast, rainy, gray day with workers coming in and out. You look like sunshine!" I smiled and replied, "I just heard my baby's heartbeat for the first time!" "So that is it," she said smiling back at me, "Congratulations! I'm on my third. It is wonderful!" I thanked her and felt surprised som
eone could actually outwardly see the joy you were giving me on the inside.
You love, are my sunshine. I pulled into work thinking about it over and over again, with my tears welling, the sound, the moment...you thriving and vivacious. I called Daddy and we talked it over. He said he had no idea how emotional it would be to hear your heart-that everything felt real to him now. He said he felt that feeling that he was a Dad. We filled in each other's sentances. I realized for the first time that we made you, that somehow you were ours, Daddy interjected, "and God's," and of course something all anew...you are you.
