I heard your heartbeat yesterday, and let me tell you...it was a miraculous moment. Your dad immediately threw is arms up in victory, and I just couldn't stop smiling. It was pure bliss. Going from worry that something could potentially be wrong to hearing that loud thump-thump-thumb beating at 127bpm. That was the feeling that I've always wanted, and watching him bring his arms down to wipe those tears from his eyes...I knew with even more certainty that he loved and wanted you just as much as I did.
You were there, just as tiny as you can be. We learned that you were 8mm long, which isn't very big....but that heartbeat was all we needed to know that you were strong and healthy. It turns out you're measuring a little behind what we originally thought, so I've known about you since you first started growing. We were no longer needing to worry, and we were happy that we could begin enacting all of our little detailed plans to let the family know about you. You are already so, so loved.
Right now you're making my nights a little difficult because I just can't get to sleep. I try my hardest because I know that you're thriving in there, and need me to be rested so you can be as healthy as you can be. I'm also trying, very, very hard to cut back on everything that isn't good for me. You'd be surprised how one little bean could make someone have so many aversions, but I'm taking them as they come, and in stride. My mornings have been a little rough, but even still I'm thankful that I can generally make it through the day without literally losing my lunch. Even the headaches have been manageable, for the most part. There are the days where it feels like nothing I do will make it better, but I know that it's all for you. I want you to be as healthy as possible, that's all I'll ever want.
I'm so thankful for your dad. He's honestly been so wonderful in helping me when I'm feeling sick, in taking over when I just can't, and in supporting me and telling me that everything is going to be okay. He's already such an amazing dad and I can't wait to see him with you. You think that the tears at your heartbeat were something? I'm not going to be able to hold back when I see you with him for the first time. Even thinking about it gives me goosebumps and makes my eyes water.
Keep up the growing, little one. I can't wait to see you again, but even more than that...I'm so anxious just to be able to hear you again. My heart beats for you right now. I hope you feel all the love, because it's so much.
