Heart

Dear Babins, 

I know you're alive because I heard your heart beating for the first time today. It was beautiful. You're real! I was glad your dad was there to hear it also, otherwise I might have forgotten what it sounds like or thought it was just a dream. He does much better heartbeat impressions than I do. He puts his head on my belly and pretends he can hear you and says, "woosh woosh woosh." Your heartbeat came in at about 150 bpm. The doctor said you sounded healthy and that everything looked great. I like to think that you can see us, and that you know how excited we are. Did you see me cry when we heard you in there?! Keep growing healthy. 

We love you already, 

Your Mom. (That's the first time I've called myself that!)
