We had our monthly doctor visit on Monday of this week.  Everything seems to be right on track.  Laura hasn't gained any weight since last month, which is surprising; however, the doctor wasn't concerned at all.  "You will", was all she said.

Each visit we get to hear the heartbeat which is always exciting.  Whisler Baby 2009 clocked in at a solid 163 bpm.  The musician in me was tapping the floor and counting the whole time.  My imperfect internal metronome said 155 so not too far off.  At one point, we could hear two heartbeats at the same time.  Don't get excited, one of them was Laura's, but the way they sounded together was quite remarkable.  One would fade in while the other faded out and then repeat.  The sound engineer in me was impressed with the subtle control of the faders.  You can quickly see in what context this child will be raised.  No apologies.

In mid-March, we will have another appointment similar to this one, but on March 23rd we will have our first ultrasound.  If Baby cooperates, meaning turns the right way for show-and-tell, we should know the gender at that time.  Yes, we will post that information as soon as we know.
