It Brought Tears to My Eyes

Not the heartbeat pumping away nicely at 162. Not the perfectly normal NT scan measure. Not the bouncing baby that wouldn't stay still enough to get measured. Not even the little wave he or she threw out to us.

What brought tears to my eyes today was my mother-in-law's offer to buy me maternity clothes. I was giving her the update on my appointment this morning when she said she knew I would need some maternity clothes at some point and she wanted to get me some because she never got to have that experience herself.

I am so blessed.
