Today I saw the tiniest little heartbeat.
Today we looked at each other and stared in amazement at our future family member. Most people contribute a sperm and an egg initially and invest their energy later into the pregnancy to bond with their child. But we started long ago and put so much of ourselves into the process of creating this little fetus. In addition there have been countless others that have put part of themselves in too.
And from today on - my heart will never be the same. As much as there was love between us that grew for each other in the absence of success, our hearts now swell with love for this microscopic little being. And its not just us - its everyone who put in a little love for what they do who made this possible.
I can't wait for that little heart to grow and to fuel the life of a baby . . . our baby. And I hope that baby grows to be a person with a big generous heart. Goodness knows it is starting off with a ton of love from a lot of people - that should be more than enough to get it started and keep it going.
Congratulations on the heartbeat! It is so incredibly awe-inspiring and humbling. Here's to it getting bigger, stronger and fuller!

ReplyDeleteaww this post brings me to tears, congrats
ReplyDeleteCongratulations - this is a lovely post!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! The real definition of love at first sight...
ReplyDeleteSeeing the heartbeat is the most amazing thing in the world. There is life in there...and the flicker is proof. I'm totally with you on how your love with your partner grows at the sight of that little heart beating. I felt like the grinch, who's heart grew three times at the sound of Christmas...except my heart grew with the sight of my baby's heartbeat. Holding my husband's hand and looking into each other's eyes and knowing we were going to have a baby....all from just seeing a little flicker on a screen!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!
Congrats! That moment of seeing the heartbeat flicker is so amazing. One I will never forget. :-)
