The most amazing thing happened yesterday. Mike and I went to our second midwife appointment and we got to hear the heartbeat. It probably doesn't sound like much to anyone not attached to this baby, but it was the most wonderful, perfect sound I have ever heard. Friends and family have told me in years past of hearing their baby's heartbeat, but it never meant a thing to me. I now know that it's something to live for. I'm already so proud of my child for being only two inches long and yet having such a strong heartbeat. It's crazy to think that just a year ago, I was making myself comfortable with the idea that I may have to wait years and years to marry and have a baby. Now, over the course of just a couple months, Im getting everything 'I've ever wanted. And within the next couple years, I will officially have a family. How happy am I!
