We Hear Your Heartbeat!

December 5, 2012

Dear Baby Bean:

Hello my sweet little baby!  It’s been a little bit since I’ve been able to write.  Your sister and I have had the stomach flu over the past week and we are finally back to our old selves again (I hope).  It was a bit of a rough weekend for your Mommy, but I was so happy to go to the doctor yesterday to make sure that even though I was sick you are still doing fine!  The best part about my appointment yesterday was that we got to hear your heartbeat for the first time!  Tenley wasn’t cooperating very well at the doctor’s office and wouldn’t let me put her down when it was time for me to lay on the table for the doctor.  So, she climbed right up on the table with me and laid right next to me while they used the Doppler to find your heartbeat.  She laid very still and, after a couple of seconds, we heard your heartbeat loud and clear!  Bernie says that your heartbeat was 165 which was pretty much what Tenley’s was all the way through her pregnancy.  We are so excited that you are growing and developing- but June seems like forever away before we can meet you!  You just take your time in there though- although we are excited to meet you, you don’t need to make any early appearances J

The rest of this week isn’t very full for us.  Today Tenley and I are going to spend the day cleaning the last of the house and maybe starting to wrap some Christmas gifts.  Tomorrow we are going to try to get to the Kindermusik makeup class that we missed because we were sick, and Friday Daddy has a big basketball game at night.  We are really looking forward to this weekend because it is the Miller Family Christmas in Howe and we get to go home and see all of our big, wonderful family- get ready for some great food, Bean!  I’ll fill you in on how the weekend goes once we get back.  Until then, keep up the good work in there and I love you so much!
