The Sweetest Sound

This morning I got to hear the sweetest sound.

Some people describe it as a whooshing wind.

Some people describe it as a galloping horse.

I can only describe it as amazing.

Today I heard my baby's heart beat for the first time.

He was being mischievous - every time the nurse found him, he'd squirm away. This was making the nurse and I laugh, which was making it even harder to find. Eventually, she tracked him down and I got to listen to the sweet sound of the beating heart that is growing inside me.

The miracle of life never ceases to astound me.
