It was an exciting week for Ron and I. We had our 1st prenatal visit with the doctor and the news was good. When they did the ultrasound, Ron and I got to hear our baby's heartbeat and it was a beautiful sound. The FHR (fetal heart rate) was 179bpm which may seem high compared to all of our heart rates, but this is actually perfectly normal for a fetus at this stage. Actually, old wives tales would suggest that a heart rate of higher than 160bpm or so would indicate we are having a girl, however that is just an old wives tale and the FHR will start to decrease as i get further along.

Our little jelly bean is growing just like it should be...
We are overjoyed.
