We are Having a Boy!


Last Thursday we went in to have an ultrasound to check out how are baby is doing. The baby is doing fine and now has a gender. It's a boy. His head is about one week bigger than the rest of his body so Cheri thinks he will have a big head like his dad, 7 3/4 hat size. We got to see his little feet and hands. It was truly amazing to see this little thing moving around inside of Cheri. We cannot wait until he is born.

150 BPM

We heard our baby's heart beat for the first time today. It was 150 beats per minute, which is very normal.
Cheri said that it felt like forever before the nurse found the heart beat, she got really worried, but it probably only took her about 10 seconds to find it.
It was a priceless moment and both of us are enjoying the excitement that accompanies all the milestones of fetal development. Tim is probably more excited because he does not spend as much time being sick, at least he probably has more energy to be excited.
