heartbeat

greetings! yesterday, austin and i got to hear baby billett's heartbeat for the first time. it was sort of like a horse trotting underwater...a very refreshing sound! the doctor said everything sounded good and that the little one's heart was beating around 160 beats per minute. i asked when we find out if "little one" is going to be wearing blue or pink and she said next time! woo hoo! my next scheduled appointment with her is june 15! i am already soooo excited, as is austin. this afternoon is a sonogram and birth defect screening with a different doctor. i am anxious to see how much the baby has grown. my hope is that everything is going fine and baby's development is right on track! we chose to have the screening done just so there aren't any surprises later...we want to be prepared for every possible scenario. i guess that is all for now. i am thankful that i continue to feel great and that my schedule allows for napping. take care, :) carianne
