A Milestone Reached

Dear Munchkin,

Yesterday I heard your heartbeat for the very first time. It was an absolutely amazing, wonderful, exciting, and beautiful sound. It was a breath-taking moment. I was sooooo excited to hear it and get further proof that you are growing and doing well. I only wish that Daddy had been there to hear it, too. But I told him all about it on the phone, and he was just as excited as I was. The Army is letting him come home for a few days later this month, and he'll be able to go to my next appointment with me. I can't wait for him to hear it for himself. We are both so excited about you and can't wait until you are really here for us to cuddle and hold. You are already an incredibly loved baby.

Love you forever,
Mommy
