Big Sister

I'll never ever forget hearing Evelyn's heartbeat for the first time at our 8 week prenatal checkup. A human growing and developing in my body... From the start I just couldn't comprehend such a miracle, particularly after a taxing two plus years of waiting. And like magic seven months later she was fully developed, healthy, and in my arms. Fifteen months later we're at it again, now hearing the heartbeat of our second child for the first time at 8 weeks. A little human growing in my body once again. It's just as unreal, wonderful, and miraculous as before. I'm just absolutely ecstatic and kind of baffled that we get to do this all over again. And I don't take one second for granted.

Keeping up with a toddler while battling nausea and exhaustion is never fun but there is no room for complaints. My busy bee keeps me going, filling me with light every day, and reminding me of what we have to look forward to. Already she's changed so much in the last ten weeks since I found out I was pregnant. I can only imagine what a big girl she's going to be by the time baby gets here. But I do know she's going to be THE best big sister, and I can hardly wait to see it in action.
