I recently went to the Dr's office. It was a bit of an over due appointment. I had been putting it off since I knew what they were going to say. I have been through these same boring steps so many times. Let's measure this, ask these questions, take a test. Yup, everything looks good. Just like I had been expecting.
But then came the moment I knew would come. It always comes. Somehow I had kind of forgotten about it. The moment for me when everything changed.
The moment I could hear that heartbeat. That tiny human heart beat growing inside me.
I have known I was pregnant for a while. All the symptoms were there. I was aware of the logistics that will need dealt with in coming months.
That heart beat suddenly made it so much more personal.That tiny person that will someday be held in my arms, someday giggle. That tiny person that has so much potential, was real.
I am not just here to hang out with my Dr. I was here because of another little human.
My Dr just kept on chatting. She knows I have been through this before. She told me she was glad I had come back for this again.
For that brief moment though, her chatter didn't matter. That beautiful sound was all that was there. A strong healthy heart ( moving to avoid detection) was all that mattered.
The new member of our clan will probably be here close to November. We are all (except perhaps Ruby) looking forward to it.
Another heartbeat in our family.
