It's a.....HEARTBEAT!

Monday night we had our first appt. with our new midwife Amanda. I fell in love with homebirths when we had Piper, for one, I love that the midwife comes to me and does almost everything in the comfort of our own home. It is very peaceful and wonderful not making a medical situation out of pregnancy. 

Here are the girls helping Amanda check out my pee stick, which checks a variety of things.
For some reason I thought hearing the heartbeat for the first time would make my nausea disappear.  Of course it didn't but after almost five minutes trying to find our little beans heartbeat I was relieved when we finally heard it. Perhaps now Piper believes me that there is indeed a baby growing in my belly. 

There is something magical about hearing your baby's heartbeat when it is still so tiny, hard to believe it is even possible.

That is truly beautiful! I wish wish wish I had experienced natural childbirth! I was close with Alyssa but they ordered a C-section. You are so blessed, Renee - you seem to be a great mother with a great family! We've all come a long way since Sembach!
