Technology these days are amazing, ultra-sounds especially. Not only did we get to see the little baby, but we actually heard the heartbeat. I was a bit worried when while we were waiting to see the doctor, but as soon as I saw the image and heard the baby's heartbeat, my own heart skipped a beat!
We were told that everything was "normal," and that the heartbeat was 130 beats per minute. I thought that was fast, but apparently this was good. We got a picture (which you've seen) and a DVD of the ultra-sound. Now I can see that little heartbeat any time I want. Now that is truly awesome.
As I've said before, that word normal has started to take on new meanings. According to everything that I've been reading, normal is: nausea, gaining weight (women and men), insomnia, endless trips to the doctor, tests-tests-tests, and a human being growing inside of someone you love. At what point is all of this normal??? We head back to the doctor Thursday to do more tests. Pray that they are all "normal" in the pregnancy sense of the word.
More later when we know it.

I think it's silly that no one has commented on this post yet, so. . . First, don't get to accustom to the "normal" phrase because very little in our family is ever "normal" for long. Healthy and happy, of course, but not "normal." Second, how does "Flogan Von Squeekinshoes Acuff" sound?
