Holy Heartbeat, Batman!

We got our second look at the baby today. Wow has he grown in a week! Sure he is approximately a half an inch but that seems huge to us. There he was big and beautful dancing on the screen. Okay maybe not dancing per se but I am biased here.
Best of all there was his heart going pitty pat. Clear as day. 130 beats per minute.
Could I get more sickening with the tiny baby love? I don't care. It makes up for the exhaustion and sick tummy.
So our clinic has bid us farewell and good luck. I am released to the care of a regular OB. My plan is to call this week to setup an appointment with a midwife. So in honor of this news I have added "pregnancy" as a category here and will be posting all future updates under that heading. I will leave the heading "infertility" symbolically behind. Although I still think of us that way. Tom, me and our "special" package.
