14-week-belly and a little heartbeat!

Brett and I dropped in to see the midwife this week so she could try again to find the heartbeat on the doppler (since she couldn't find it at my 12-week appointment). Have I mentioned before how much I love her? We were so happy when she managed to find it after only a minute or two of looking. What a beautiful sound! It was beating away at 140 bpm, so I spent some time reading up on the various old wives' tales regarding heartbeat and gender. If we're not going to find out the gender, we get to make lots of crazy guesses, right?

And...the bump is expanding. When my mom was here visiting last weekend she noticed right off...as did many other people. How weird is it when everyone wants to touch your belly? Pic is from today (roughly 14 weeks). 



...And I just noticed that I have the same pants on in both pics...I can't help it if they're comfy!

How exciting that you got to hear the heartbeat! It never gets old, that's for sure.

I hope your morning sickness is fading...

Hey Emily! I am so excited to find out that you're pregnant : ) And to see you on here! And I totally get the running thing. I haven't been running as much because of how cold it's been but I can't wait until it finally starts to feel like spring!

Aww! The heartbeat makes me so happy too. Soon you will be feeling the baby move! Jordan loved to poke Suzi from the outside and she'd poke back.
