The Sweetest Sound

Today I got to hear one of the sweetest sounds....the heartbeat of our next child. I went in for my first OB visit and the doctor said everything looked great. The heart rate was 151 bpm, which I think was a little faster than Everett's. Next week will be the last week of my first trimester. This pregnancy is definitely going by a whole lot faster than my first. Today I realized how I have been taking a lot of the blessings in my life for granted. This new baby for example, is a huge and unexpected blessing! I also realized how I take Ev for granted as well. God has given us such a healthy, smart, funny, well-behaved, handsome boy. As his personality continues to emerge I love him more and more. I never want to get so caught up in the everyday stresses of life, that I take my family for granted. I love my little family so much, and God has given me a good one!
