Day 74

We had our next appointment with the doctor's office. We got to hear our baby's heart beat for the first time. I got a little anxious when they couldn't find it at first but they looked a little lower on Erin's stomach and there it was! It was about 150 bpm which is the doctor said "is healthy and normal". Our next ultra sound in a few weeks will be even more detailed than our first one. We still want to keep the gender of the baby a suprise. Although, I think Erin is wavering a little. She seems to think that there aren't enough neutral patterns for baby's bedspreads out there. I think that a silly reason to not keep it a surpise :).

Erin is really starting to show, and with that she is starting to complain a little more about her back. Erin does have a pretty low threshold for pain so I'm sure I am in store for lots of lifting and moving stuff around and massages. I think I am up for the challenge.
