Week 18 Update

Today we went for our monthly checkup.  Within seconds of putting the Doppler machine to my belly, she had the baby's heartbeat - 145 bpm.  She was quite surprised at our surprise, but it was actually the first time anyone has been able to get the heartbeat on that machine!  So, no unscheduled ultrasound for us today.  Now, we wait until the 28th when we go for the full ultrasound.  That day can't come fast enough!
