Week 12 - Dr. appt. 2

Today Katharine and I met Lisa, a Certified Nurse Midwife. Dr. Sebestyen, who is the lead doctor in the office, has another doctor and 3 CNMs in her office. The plan is to meet all 5 of them and be comfortable with whomever will be there when the baby makes its first appearance in this world.

Lisa was able to share the very fast heartbeat at the end of 3 months. We are experimenting with a new video camera and the sound will hopefully be okay for you.



I can't begin to tell you how cool it is to be able to hear that little heartbeat for the first time. There is a living, little, tiny human growing inside of Katharine, and it is not an alien. For anyone who doesn't know, physically, at this time, the baby looks like a very tiny baby with arms, legs, fingers, toes and obviously a beating heart.

Expecting

If you are here, then you have heard.....we are having a baby. We are both very excited and have been adjusting to being pregnant for almost 3 months now. I know, Katharine is pregnant and I am just supporting, but for me, it is a process and I want to be involved with everything that I can. Of course my food cravings haven't changed, but I help Katharine eat whatever she wants, so I figure that counts.

Many of you have asked how to be involved and what you can do. As of now, we are still figuring some of that out. But I thought we could keep you as involved as we can by posting anything interesting here.

Check out what we have going on and see what is happening as we approach the big day next Feb.
