The one-track mind

I found the baby's heartbeat immediately today after being good all week and not over doing it with my home Doppler. It's such a powerful thing, listening to the heartbeat of another human rapidly growing under your skin..Kind of bizarre.

Caleb got to hear it and understand what it was he was hearing this time, as it was not as static-y as last week when I found it for him. And the bub was hanging out in a good spot for a long while so we got to listen to that rapid thumping for a full minute very clearly. We counted the whooshing best we could and came up with an approximate heart rate of 160 bpm. Solid stuff, little baby. Good work, mommy's proud.

We are Still not settled on boy names. I guess it's fair enough... We still have 6 months to go. It's just that the names I really love, Caleb hates and vice versa. Maybe something like Grey or William. We'll see. I have this strong hunch that this Kiddo's going to be a boy, so I'm always thinking about male-appropriate names.

In other news, yesterday I swear my belly popped out and I could passably look pregnant if I was out wandering around in a bikini. Maybe other people would think I just look a lil bit fat but I think I finally look a teensy bit pregnant.

In all honesty, even though I miss pooping and beer and staying the same weight week after week, I'm just tickled pink that this baby is so keen on growing and I can't wait to meet the bub come November. :) good damn I've turned into a mushy asshole Hahaha.
