Heart Beat

With much anticipation, we heard the heartbeat of our little tiny miracle at our 12 week appointment. It was beating at a rapid, healthy, strong 166 bpm. During the same week my Grandpa Gill passed away which brought the whole family together to celebrate his life and remember the good times we all shared with him. During this time however, Leanne and I told our extended family and friends that we are expecting a miracle in May. This news put a smile on our families faces and gave us all an opportunity to celebrate something during a time of grief. Our next anticipated appointment is in 4 short weeks.

Second Appointment

Today we had our second doctor's appointment. After about an hours wait in the office, the nurse appeared with a doppler and found the little bean's heartbeat in about 4 mins. It registered 166 bpm and sounded more like a running horse than a heartbeat by she assured me it was normal, healthy and strong.

I am so excited to learn that everything is progressing normally and that our little bean is healthy and strong.
