January 23, 1984

Twelve weeks.

That's how far a long I am.

Dr. Kline said that the baby is just the size of a lime. Which is really small, but normal for that stage in a pregnancy.

My due date: August 12, 1984

Today, I think I saw my life begin to change as I listened to its heart beat. I can't describe exactly the way it sounded to me. It was like...I don't even know. All I know is my heart grew heavy as I listened to it. It was fast and quick., and the more I listened the more I began to cry.

Everything was so real at that moment. Like it was confirmed completely. I've been sitting here trying to figure out a way describe everything but its so hard for me to out into words. Its all so profound and overwhelming.

I'm completely speechless.
