150 beats per minute



Had my 13 week prenatal appointment today. Ronan got to see our little baby! It was pretty exciting. It is incredible to see his/her rapid growth in just the last 6 weeks. Our first ultrasound look like a little peanut with a heartbeat. Now a very active little one...stretching his/her arms and kicking his/her feet. This ultrasound shows the baby's head and butt!! got a big butt like me. And the straight wave across the top is the heartbeat. When Ronan saw the picture he exclaimed "cool mom!". Never mind that while taking a shower this morning, the mere thought of taking my prenatal vitamins made me vomit. A first for me..geez. Anyway...seeing our miracle in progress is worth all the nausea, heartburn, and backaches! Tomorrow, I cross the state border line to Alabama to get some more prenatal testing done..usual stuff for the "geriatric" moms. Next week, glucose tolerance test! yuck! more stuff to stimulate the emesis center. Keep our little baby in your prayers that he/she remains healthy!
