we have a heart beat - a year later

One year ago today we were able to attend our first doctor's appointment with Korin and hear Gage's heart beat for the first time. From there we were (or at least I was) able to attend all but one of her doctor appointments with her. I am so grateful that we were able to be a part of everything. I know it doesn't always happen that way, but I am grateful to Korin for including us along the way. I may never experience that again.

Every now and again I lay my head on Gage's chest and just listen to his heart beat. It always takes me back to the day we heard it for the first time. I remember the room, the doctor, the nerves and the butterflies in my stomach.

After her appointment we went to Sizzlers and got something to eat. It was fun to sit and chat with Korin and her mom without a room full of people. We may not have said a lot all those time we got together, but I loved every single minute we spent with her. Every bit of silence. (We are both in the shy category)  What a blessing it was to be able to spend that time with her. Once Gage is older, I can't wait to tell him about Korin. All those doctor appointments made that possible.
