Hearing the Heartbeat

Today was lots of fun. We had another doctor's appointment this afternoon. It was just a routine checkup, but we got to finally hear the baby's heartbeat. Wow!!! The baby's heartbeat is really fast. The doctor said that the baby's heart was beating 160 beats a minute. The doctor said that even though I "popped" faster than he thought I would, I am doing fine. I am also right on schedule (15 weeks). He even gave us some encouraging news. He said that even though I am pretty big right now (bigger than most this early on), he doesn't think that I will be huge at the end. I am glad about that. I was getting worried that my feet were going to disappear before too many more days.

Vacation

Well, we were on vacation for the last week. We went to Myrtle Beach for a week, and we did a lot of sitting on the beach. We had a great time just sitting and enjoying the time by ourselves. We are really looking forward to the baby coming. We didn't take any pictures while we were at the beach, but you really should see Chrissy's belly. There's a pooch!

While we were at the beach I spent quite a bit of time at the outlet stores. Most of the time was spent looking for either clothes to fit my growing belly or adorable clothes for the baby. Jason was a good sport about it all. He went in all the stores and even started picking out a few outfits himself. He was pretty good at it, but best of all was that he carried all the bags for me. I ended up with several bags as everything for babies is just so darn cute. The most adorable is a frilly pink dress....I guess that one will have to go back if this baby is a boy.
