Heartbeat

Today was our second Dr.'s appointment for baby Noland. I was not as nervous this time going in (except for the blood work). It always seems like it takes forever to see the Dr. We were wondering what all would happen in this meeting.

As we waited I sat in on the patient table while Lennon sat next to me. We were so giddy and acting so silly that anyone who would have heard us would have thought we were loony people. The doctor came in and said "lets see if we can pick up a heartbeat. It may be a little early but we will try." He used his listening device, which also had a speaker on it, so we could here the noises as well. Then all of the sudden, a fast, strong heartbeat was heard. How exciting! I wanted to leap up with joy. As we were hearing our baby's heartbeat for the first time Lennon squeezed my hand a little tighter and I could feel the joy he had as well. Its amazing that our little one is only 1 1/2 in long and already has fingernails developing. This is a great journey to be on...
