A life post... one year later

A year ago, we had a beautiful two month old baby in our arms. Now, baby number 2 is in the womb. At ten and a half weeks, the midwife wanted me to come in this morning for a fetal heart tone check.  Soon enough, I heard the heartbeat for the first time of this miraculous creature in my womb. How can a tiny baby the size of a kumquat have an even tinier heart that beats so fast?  I am in awe once more. With the baby forming so quickly inside me, I am again worn to pieces, but can't be grateful enough for another blessing in our lives.
