Sweet Music

I warned ya - I've been squirrelling these entries away for a little while now. Now that we've announced I will try and bring them to you in somewhat chronological order, albeit delayed.

On Monday the 10th we heard the baby's heartbeat on the doppler for the first time! A healthy and strong 160 bpm, right where it should be.

It was actually quite loud, and pretty darn cool. Kinda took us to a whole new level of realization that "wow - we're really having a baby". I mean, it's one thing to pee on a stick at home and see the positive result. And it's another to pee in a cup at the dr's office and be told officially that you're pregnant. And still another to see a little fuzzy blob on the ultrasound screen at 6 weeks and be told that is the embryo. But to hear the heart beating loudly and strongly - holy cow! There's a little living person in there!

I'm still awestruck :-)
