We heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time on Thursday. It was as amazing as everyone told me it would be! It did sound a little like a dishwasher as Ann said (more of a whoosh-whoosh than a thump-thump), but considering the heart is probably the size of a thumb tack, it makes sense.

Oh yeah, in case anyone reading this doesn't know, we're having a baby! Right now they are telling us January 3, but they could be wrong. We think (and for tax purposes, I hope) that it will be a little earlier.

The best thing about it was that it took my mind off the collapse of the Olde Towne Teame against the Evil Empire. Trade Garciapopup!
