Baby's Heartbeat

Today Brian and I had a routine checkup with Dr. Novak (who is awesome by the way), and we are happy to report everything is checking in wonderfully! We decided to deliver our baby at Foothills Hospital here in Calgary. No ultrasound pictures today, but we did have a chance to record our lil' one's heartbeat. Make sure to have your volume turned up and click the audio player above to have a listen. Best part is, close to the end you'll hear both mine and the babies...the fast beat is the babies. Beautiful and a bit crazy to have two hearts in one body.

The first time Brian and I were able to see the baby was an awesome experience. We went for our first ultrasound pictures at 18.5 weeks into the pregnancy. 4 large cups of water 2 hours before our appointment and I was more than ready to see the little one for the first time. A bit of nervous energy and overwhelming excitement as the technician turned on the machine and pressed the probe against my belly to reveal baby. Without being aware of any of the baby's movements prior to our appointment, we were surprised to see our lil' one kicking and bouncing all over the place. I've decided baby must have daddy's energy, because if he or she takes after mommy, he or she would still be sleeping...our appointment was 8:30am. 10 fingers 10 toes, and a healthy growing baby. Due date is now Feb. 28th which seems right around the corner. We cant wait!
