The fifth human: A light on your heart


You have 2 lights on your heart. So we study this together.



Sweet Baby,

You're growing so beautifully. I feel you regularly every day. I feel like I can tell when I am in an uncomfortable position and you need me to adjust because you push down below. I also feel like you know when your Papa is not home, you don't move as much. 

Since last note, I had that special sonogram. You actually have 2 lights on your heart. The technician said, one light is common, two lights are rare, however they are both in spots where muscle is growing. Since muscle is very dense at your gestational age, those muscles sometimes come through as light spots on the sonogram monitors. The specialist said she is not concerned and believes all to be okay. 

As I was walking back to the car, I had to stand aside for a minute and let out a long cry. I was very worried for the few weeks leading up to today. It's never a concern that something is wrong with you. It's always what's wrong with me that I can't provide the best for you. I was relieved that you were okay and the doctors had no need to dig deeper. I just want you to be happy.



I registered for a baby registry and your Papa said he'd like to have a small baby shower. Hooray! I am looking at August 21 2016 in Grandpa's garden. Maybe even Valentino Pier, our favorite little place. 

Papa held my belly, he paths mouth close to it, and spoke to you:

"Hi Baby. When you come out we're going to make you strong. Then you're going to conquer the world!"

He loves you already. I know it. Even if it's hard for him to attach to what's going on inside there. I don't completely understand either, but I do know, I am experiencing a bit of magic. And that makes me feel incredible.


Your siblings are crazy for you and ask about you every day. 

We are all so excited to meet you. 

-Mama
