Finally, a heartbeat!

Julie and I went to our first doctor visit when the baby was twelve weeks old. Julie was really sick (and I mean really sick) so we were really looking forward to hearing the heartbeat. Well, they couldn't find it and we went home pretty disappointed.

Yesterday (Feb. 15), a couple of nurses Julie works with decided to get the Doppler thingy to check for a heartbeat. Julie called me at home (enjoying my snowday) and held the phone up to the monitor. Unbelievable!! 160 beats per minute.

Anyways, just thought I'd share this exciting news in my life. Enjoy the snow!!

P. S. If you've never heard a baby's heart beat at 12-16 weeks, check out this link:
