Hearing your heartbeat for the first time made my heart race.  Seeing your precious little face made my love for you grow even stronger than what I felt before.  Before the doctor performed the ultrasound, they tried to hear your heartbeat from the doppler.  We sat in silence, praying, while she tried to hear it.  She never found it.  It was the most terrifying moment I have ever experienced in my whole life.  I was bawling like a baby. Thankfully, they were able to squeeze us in for a quick ultrasound.  Your heartbeat was music to our ears.  Your heartbeat was 178 beats per minute, so not only was it beating, it was beating fast and strong.  You were sticking out your tongue and waving to us.  You are almost three inches long now!  After this Sunday (4 more days),  we will have finished our first trimester of pregnancy. In about 7 more weeks, we will get to find out if you are a boy or a girl!  In only 6 more months we get to meet you, hold you and take you home.  We can’t hardly wait. You are so loved already.   From now on, I am a FIRM believer in love at first sight. 🙂
