Dear Baby Howell,
Well today was the day, we had a doctors appointment and ultra sound at 11:20am. We got to see your tiny heartbeat. It was a healthy 125! What an amazing and emotional feeling to hear and see your heartbeat for the first time. We are also so relieved the heartbeat was so healthy.
Today, we also learned that there are two of you in there. But sadly, the second baby is probably not going to make it. But no worries, this will not effect you at all, the doctor has assured us. It is quite common to start out with twins and then lose one, it is called the disappearing twin syndrome. In fact, the doctor told us had we had your ultrasound a little later, we probably would not have even seen the second baby.
I go back to the doctor in two weeks for another ultrasound and to see the doctor. I look forward to being able to see and hear your heartbeat again!

We love you already,
Mom
