Heartbeat

Yesterday was amazing. I got to hear the baby's heartbeat! I couldn't believe it--it was incredible. I had a very long weekend with a little scare when I started spotting. I just panicked, thinking the baby was slipping away. I called my doctor on Saturday in my panic and he calmed me down sufficiently and moved my appointment up to Monday. I can't even describe the relief that just surged through me when I saw the baby with a beating heart on the screen of the ultrasound machine! I keep looking at the picture in absolute awe. I can't wait to see how Baby Brokaw grows week by week. I just thank God over and over.
