Today was my very first baby appointment. :) After taking down every detail of my family history, I was examined and I was able to hear my precious little baby's heartbeat for the first time! The midwife was able to pick it up almost instantly (whereas that does not always happen this early on). I was thrilled and a huge grin also covered Jaron's face. Our baby has life and is steadily developing into the little person he/she will one day be. I look forward to meeting this tiny person as each day passes. I pray each day that each stage of the development would go as God designed it to go without any issues/complications. I know that I'll give this child all my love no matter what happens or how it looks when it comes.
May 13th doesn't seem so very far away because I'm enjoying each day that goes by with this special life that continues to grow more each day inside me. I know that I won't always be content...;) I know that in 5 months or so I'll be aching to just be able to hold little Horst in my arms rather than my ginormous belly. ;) But until then, I pray that each stage proves to be a blessing. <3
