It Lives!

This week I had the most amazing experience of my life (so far, at
least). Holls and I went to the doctor to hear our baby's heartbeat for
the first time.

It blew me away. Holly's just into the second trimester now, and the
baby is about as big as a lime. The doctor put the microphone on Holly's
belly, and the heartbeat was so loud that I was initially amazed that we
could hear Holly's heartbeat all the way down there!

Heh, I'm a guy. It's not my fault!

Anyhow, obviously, it was the baby's heartbeat. 150 bpm, according to
the doc, which means it's a girl if you believe old wives' tales.

Next appointment in a month, and an ultrasound right after that. I can't
wait!
