Yesterday I had the very cool experience of going to the doc with Beautiful J. I know it might sound weird that I was excited about going to the doctor, but any of you adoptive parents out there know what I mean. It's not that I love going to the doctor, that's for sure! It's that I am so grateful that I get to share these kinds of experiences with my future child and his amazing birth mother. Even though I don't get to feel him moving around in my tummy, even though I don't get to nurture him until he's ready to make his big entrance into this world, I got to hear his heart beat. His perfect, strong heart beat. I got to be there to ask the doctor questions. I got to be there to support J whom I love and admire with all my heart. My favorite part of the whole thing was just hanging out with her. She is one incredible woman!
