One Sweet Beat

When I was pregnant with Lyles, Dustin got me a wonderful birthday present- a fetal heart beat monitor!  I know more now than I did 3 years ago about ultrasound safety, and I know I won't be listening as frequently or as intently as I did the first time around.  However, I did want to take a quick listen earlier this week to see if I was able to pick anything up!  It didn't take long before I heard the pitter patter of our newest little love, and it took my breath away just as much as it did the first time I heard Lyla's!
I made a quick recording on my phone and then left the little guy/girl alone.  I knew before I heard that heart beat that my nausea, vomiting, and exhaustion were all helping to grow a life, but hearing my second's little heart beating so strongly renewed my sense of purpose and gave me a little bit extra spring in my step.  It's a miraculous to me.  With as little as my body has been able to give this small person, it's continuing to grow and develop.
My baby's heart beat sounds perfect.  It's surely the heart beat of an intelligent, kind, funny, beautiful little human in the making. <3  Take a listen, and tell me I'm wrong. ;)
