What a Christmas gift....

We went for the first visit today to Alexandria Hospital where we took a closer look at baby. The spine and anatomy is perfect--we're thrilled! Eko finally saw the baby up close and personal and it's more real for him now. :) The doctor said the baby was moving around quite a bit and almost waving her/his hand at us. One hand clenched, the other waving--hilarious. It was really something and definitely the beginning of it all...

There may be more to come, we'll see at Christmas!

Can you hear my heartbeat?

This morning I heard the faint little noise of a 13-week old's heartbeat. It was at 150, which Joanne quickly told me to Google, b/c apparently you can tell the sex from the rate. So I did---according to this old wives-tale, if the heartbeat is over 140--it's a girl. We'll see if this makes sense in a few weeks... :)
