The Baby's Heartbeat Week 9

We borrowed a Baby Heart Beat Doppler from my brother and sister in law when we found out we were pregnant.  Until this week we hadn't heard anything.  Tonight however, Hester was able to dial in on the faint swooshing of the baby's heart.  It's pretty weak and she wasn't able to stay on it very long.  I looped the best part and tried to clean it up as best I could.  If you turn your speakers up loud enough you should be able to hear it :)

Hester's Pregnancy Progress Photos

I'm starting this post so I can show Hester's weekly pregnancy progress.  We decided to start taking photos at week 8 so hopefully I'll have a photo a week until our baby comes :)

Ding Dong Ditch Dog

I've heard of leaving a baby on someone's door step, but a dog? Hester called me at work to tell me that someone had left a dog on our doorstep. It happened sometime between me leaving for work that morning and Hester going out to check the mail that afternoon. Since Hester has wanted a dog since we've been married, I naturally began to wonder if she staged an elaborate hoax to persuade me into keeping a dog. After some reassurance I finally believed her and laughed at our situation. She took care of the dog until I got home after work that evening.

It's Official :)
