162 Beats Per Minute!

Today we were able to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time. The doctor was able to pick up the whooshing horse-trot-like beat after about a minute or so. Dave and I were speechless as we listened intently. I can't wait to hear it again in four weeks!

Its amazing that a heart that small can pump so fast.
