Dear Baby Hawley,
Today was my first visit to the midwives at Clark. You are 13 weeks now and everything looks good. I have been healthy - I still haven't felt the exhaustion I had with Catherine. I've gained two pounds and so far, unless we've told them, no one can tell that you are on the way. We will keep the news just within the family for a bit longer, letting you grow.
Alison, the midwife, was excited to see me back in the office, and is happy that we want to try for a VBAC. Catherine was born via C-section, but we hope to avoid that with you. We will watch you closely and hopefully you won't get turned around and stuck like Catherine was on the day she was born.
We listened to your heartbeat, and at 150 beats per minute, you sound strong and healthy. You gave me a moment of worry this morning, because it took Alison quite a while to find you with her doppler. You are tiny and we think you like to hide! She finally found you, and my heart relaxed and jumped for joy at the same time as I got to hear you for the first time.
I love you, Little One!
