There really is a baby in there!

We heard the heartbeat yesterday. And it was probalby the coolest thing I have ever heard, hearing a heartbeat from inside of me that isn't mine.

At our last doctor's appointment we were at 12 weeks and unable to hear it. Even though the doctor assured me that this was normal since the baby is so small and there is so much "stuff" in the way, I still have been worried for the last two and a half weeks.

But all my fears were put to rest yesterday as I lay there in total awe as we heard our baby's heartbeat for the very first time and it confirmed that yes, there really is a baby in there. Finally some definitive proof!

We also recorded it so we can listen to it as often as we feel, and of course family members have also been subjected to guessing what the "whoosh whoosh" is over the phone.

Now in three weeks just before we leave we'll be going for our ultrasound, hopefully we'll find out the gender!
