Heartbeats

With a high risk pregnancy comes many things, but my absolute favorite has been the blessing of seeing this cutie so often. At 31 weeks, I’m at the doctors office twice a week, staring at this miracle God has given us.

We have started routine stress tests, where I get to listen to Samuel’s heartbeat for 20 straight minutes. In this time I also hear all his movements, which are often and strong (I have nicknamed him Ninja Baby 😂).

Having been in a room and told my sweet baby doesn’t have a heartbeat, listening to Samuel’s precious heartbeat for 20 straight minutes absolutely wrecks me. I take nothing for granted as I know every single moment with him is such a gift. I was a bucket of tears at the last test and I’m sure there will be many more buckets to come as we get closer to holding him.

Yes, these last few weeks will involve a lot of tests. A lot of monitoring. A lot of appointments. But I am so so thankful. We have a miracle on the way. And he’s almost here.
