| 20 Week Bump! |
One way that Eliza has been able to feel connected with the baby is with a bear we purchased from Build A Bear. It was actually Stephanie's idea. She has done it with each of her boys. But she picked up the recording device from the store and brought it with her to one of our appointments. While there we recorded the baby's heartbeat on it. After we brought it home and then took Eliza to pick out a bear (Well she picked out the bear's dress. She really wanted a Paw Patrol stuff animal, but I quickly vetoed that. Maybe next time kid).
Anyway she now has her baby siblings heartbeat with her whenever she wants. She carries the bear around talking to it like it's her baby sibling. It's really become quite adorable and I am so thankful for Stephanie's idea to do this. Truth be told, I find myself squeezing the bear's hand quite often to hear the heartbeat and feel the baby's presence.
