Heartbeats of Miracles

Chris and I went to the doctor yesterday and got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time!! It was so neat, and a little emotional for both of us. For me it finally made all of the changes "real". I know that I feel and look different, but this was just so cool. Doc said the heartbeat was a solid 148-150 BPM and sounding healthy and strong. I was so impressed by this event that I am going to buy an at-home device to listen to the heartbeat and it even allows you to play the baby music as it gets older! Gotta love technology. :) Our next appt is on Oct 21st and then 2 weeks from then is our next ultrasound, where we MIGHT find out the sex of the baby. (We're still not sure if we want to know). When we get the heartbeat device we will try and record it and upload it on here.

Baby's Room!!

Well, this weekend Chris and I and a couple friends worked hard and got the baby's room pretty much done. We painted the walls a combo of green and brown and then I painted some polka dots and Chris put up chair rail. I am attatching some photos, but they don't do it justice. I LOVE the way it turned out, and I has even motivated Chris to want to do ours more updated. :) Other than this, not much more to update, just chugging along until the next appt in 2 weeks. I am excited that on Friday I am (hopefully) over the hump of the sick period, and I have to say it actually wasn't bad at all.
