A Steady Beat

Dear Baby,

Yesterday we saw you. The feeling it gave me was unmatched - until we saw your heart beating. That steady flash on the monitor took my breath away and humbled me more than I'll ever be able to tell you. There you were, all grey and squishy, barely 6 weeks into your development, but your heart was beating 129 beats per minute. Your daddy held my hand and watched the screen, tapping his finger on my skin to match your thumping heart. You're really in there and your heart is beating.

Can you hear my heart beating? Did you know it beats for you?

We love you so much. Keep growing. We'll do the rest.

Love,
Mama
