Strong

On Tuesday I went to my first prenatal appointment. I was so excited to reunited with the midwife that delivered Ignacio. The midwife Amy told me that things are looking on track as Ignacio ran around the exam room pulling the stir ups out of the table. As I jumped up on the table for her to check my belly she said she was going to listen for a heart beat although it was really early and usually can't hear anything for another four weeks. I just knew in my heart I would hear this little one's. After about 30 seconds of the microphone rolling over my jelly-covered abdomen the midwife and I looked at each other. There it was, like a soundtrack over my heart beat. 155 beats a minute. As Ignacio stood next to Amy looking up I was overwhelmed with emotion. A strong beating heart pumping promise.
