We went in today for our next visit and everything seems to be coming along swimingly. Danielle is doing great, rarely feeling ill at all and DLB is growing just as is expected. Our visit today was remarkable because it was the first time we have been able to hear the heartbeat with out any problem whatsoever.
Wheao, wheao, wheao, wheao, wheao.
The beating is so fast it's amazing. I tried to figure out a song that had that fast a beat but the only ones I know of that fast are nameless Techno songs. Little did we know that DLB was attending a rave in there. Maybe the black lights and glow sticks will look cool in the ultrasound.
The first sound was truly amazing, hearing our baby for the first time. The little heart that we have loved forever, much longer than these 19 weeks, was pumping the blood that was building its mind and body in preparation for meeting us in just 5 more months. Growing stronger and bigger with each beat, it's tiny, tiny muscles working overtime to run the greatest construction project imaginable. It really leaves you dumbfounded how God can create like this and awestruck that we could have any part in it, and yet it has gone on for all time. To us it seems like the most amazing original celebration of life there has ever been. And it is.
