We had our first ultrasound on Wednesday. I was so scared walking in there that something might be wrong, but our Peanut is growing according to schedule and we saw the teeny tiny heartbeat! It was something I'll never forget!
Aaron stood at my side, close to my feet, and watched our child's heartbeat. He stared at the screen for a long while, in awe, unsure of what to say or how to feel other than amazement and wonderment. Seeing your baby's heartbeat inside of you can do something more than spectacular to your soul... it gives you purpose and makes you remember why you wanted a baby in the first place. You forget how sick you're feeling, how heavy your eyelids feel, how worried you are about the cost of this new adventure... all of it... gone. You just stare at that tiny heartbeat, that little cashew-shaped miracle living inside you, and you just feel absolute and wholehearted love.
