Heartbeat

On Friday we finally got to hear our new baby's heartbeat. After searching for a bit, we heard the quick, rhythmic thumping at about 160 bpm. At least for me, this thing is finally real. For Melody, it's been real every time she looks at a vegetable and is no longer hungry. Erin kept asking why we were there. But, she also was poking Melody's belly button and, when asked what she was doing, replied that she was trying to get the baby out. So at least she's understanding.
