The sweet heart of our sweetheart

I wasn't expecting it, but today I was able to hear the sound of my tiny baby's heartbeat :) Darren and I were a bit disappointed since he wasn't with me for the momentous occasion... but he will hear it soon. With Noah we were both there - and Darren even recorded it so we could listen to it over and over...

This pregnancy has been a little different than the first - more emotionally and mentally relaxed. Maybe we aren't taking a picture of my growing stomach every week, or recording the first sound of the heartbeat, but I'm also not worrying about a miscarriage every 20 minutes, or desperately hoping all is well. I have a peace that everything is fine and will continue to be so...

Sometimes experience is a gift.

What a precious moment, to hear the sound of the life inside you. Growing a baby is truly a miraculous thing.

I look forward to shushing that little one to sleep :-) Hopefully I've got it down now!
