150 Beats Per Minute

That was the wildest sound I've ever heard.

Yesterday, I heard the heartbeat of a very tiny little baby growing inside!

Yes! It feels so good to 'tell the world.'

I've known since the beginning of January. All this time, we've been waiting, holding, almost slipping. I couldn't even stand to blog because all I've wanted to say is, "We're having a baby!"

First, I had to wait 4 weeks to tell Matt since he was in Pennsylvania. He'd call every night and I was like, "Oh, things are good here...just get here NOW!"

Then, we've been waiting to tell our parents, and last night we couldn't stand it any longer. The roads were horrible and it was still snowing, but we just had to make 'the rounds' to his Mom's, then his Dad's and my parents'. Needless to say, they were all very pleasantly surprised.

I'm due around September 20. Here's hoping for a nice cool summer!
