The incredible HEART

Well I heard my babies heartbeat yesterday, for the second time actually, but yesterday it was much louder and sounded a lot stronger to me! Of course it's because the baby is getting bigger, making the heart easier to find and hear - and man is that thing going! Doc told me that little heart is beating at about 155 bpm! It just amazes me that the heart that will continuously sustain my baby through his or her entire life is already hard at work! If my baby only weighs a couple of ounces, at best, that heart can't be more than a fraction of an ounce at best! Ok, I know I'm obsessing now...but it's just so incredible to me...this whole idea of a person growing inside of me, I'm still not used to it! Of course there's nothing like actually hearing the sound of my child's heartbeat to make the whole idea of baby real...I'm 3 1/2 months along and will be able to find out the gender in just a few short weeks! However, I have myself pretty convinced we're having a little girl...
