Well, I had one of those moments last night. A literally breathtaking moment.
I went into my babies room last night to put away some clothes and walked over to see if he felt warm enough, because with him being in the bonus room over the garage it seems to always be an issue.
I put my hand on his chest, right over his heart and all of a sudden I felt his tiny little heart just beating away.
I can't even begin to describe the emotions that washed over me in that moment.
You see, I don't think I've ever stopped and just felt or listened to my children's heartbeats. If you haven't either, you need to. It is such an amazing feeling.
I was brought back to the day when I was 7 weeks pregnant with Cole and saw his little heart beating so strongly, with the Dr. telling us that his chances of survival were now past 90% because we had seen the heart beating.
It was a tiny heart, in a body that hadn't even been formed, yet there it was providing life to a baby that was already so precious to us.
I was just blown away at the enormity of that little beating heart, working so hard to provide a two year old life. And it felt so strong under my fingers.
I stood over his bed and said a prayer, thanking God for that heart, and thanking Him that He gave me that moment to appreciate the life that Cole is :)

On your post, I totally agree that stopping to be amazed at your child's heart is an amazing moment. Yesterday we had the pleasure of seeing Logan's by ultrasound and it was just amazing that even when they're not moving, their heart is working full force.
You are definitely welcome to post my post and I'll email you a pic of Logan though you can take any off my blog if that is even doable.
cute pictures!!!! I thank God every day for my boys :)
