Today i heard the heart beat and i had to fight back the tears. I feel connected to the baby now and i finally feel like all the nausea and fatigue was worth it. I love hearing that heart beat for the first time. It hasn't been for nothing--there's a BABY growing in there! i remember the day Mariah was born, when i forgot every second of pain the first time i heard her cry. I'm excited to do it all again with this new one.
Lately Mariah has been greeting strangers by pointing at them with a scowl on her face saying "YOU!" I don't know where she got it. I've been trying to teach her other ways to greet people. I taught her to shake my hand and say "Nice to meet you." So today, she kept coming up to me, shaking my hand and saying "Nice to EAT you."
