A Baby’s Heartbeat


We have made it to week 11. Last Friday (October 15th) we met our doctor (Dr. Udrea) for the first time and were able to hear one of the most amazing sounds… the baby’s heartbeat!
At 167 beats per minute LillyMilly appears to be growing healthy.  Mommy and Daddy were elated to hear the beating heart and also see the first image of LillyMilly during the ultrasound.  Now at approximately 3 centimeters LillyMilly is growing quickly each day and according to aunt Jen, the teeth are developing.





You can see Jill below modeling the latest fashion in paper gear at last weeks appointment.

During the past several days Jill’s appetite has continued to grow.  My attempts of getting fruit and liquid in front of Jill have been met with resistance of cravings for Taco Bell and McDonald’s.  Jill is quick to assure me she is eating fruit and drinking plenty while she is at work… it’s convenient that she magically desires the healthily foods when I’m not in sight.
The shopping has begun…. Not for the baby, but for Jill!  Maternity clothes is the new fall fashion in our home.  Although she is buying larger clothing, Jill is secretly excited because she gets a new wardrobe from head to toe.  Does a pregnant lady really gain weight in her feet?... because Jill insists she needs all new shoes too.  I’m a little suspicious.
By now, most of our family has heard our good news – thanks to LillyMilly’s grandmothers.  The news is spreading viral among our friends thanks to Facebook.  It’s great to have all the support from our family and friends.  Keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
Week 12 starts on Saturday!
