The woman rests her hands on her growing belly and thoughts race through her mind as she thinks of the upcoming arrival of this little one.
“Mrs. Hawthourne?”
When she hears her name, the woman stands and follows the nurse through the door.
Minutes later, the nurse spreads the ointment on her stomach and presses a tool to the woman’s belly.
An outline of a body fills the screen.
“There’s the baby!”
The nurse points out the arms, legs, and body when a soft, thumping sound interrupts her.
The heartbeat.
The woman says a silent prayer; she has grown to love this baby.
Nice job, Britt!
