Hearing her Heart beat for the first time

I haven't posted anything in a while as we have been so busy with preparing for our daughters arrival...and working everyday.
I have since joined our birthmom at two doctors appointments and what an amazing experience those were. I heard our baby's heart beat for the first time 2 weeks ago and then again 2 days ago. It was beautiful. She is healthy and thriving and being at 36 weeks, the doctor said she could potentially come at anytime. WOW...so very exciting, although we are happy to keep her in there for as long as it takes.
Our wonderful birthmom has asked me to be in the delivery room and said I can hold her as soon as she arrives. She wants me to be the first person our daughter sees. How lucky I am to be able to experience this and I will be able to tell our little girl about the day she was born. What a beautiful experience.
