Baby B's First Photos

For those of you hoping for twins (like EVERYONE), we only have one lil guy (or girl) in there, and I use the word only very loosley. The first photo is the heartbeat, 119 bpm, about as fast as mine most of the time. The second is measurement. To tell you the truth, I'm thrilled. Yes, it would have been fun to be the mom of twins, but it would have presented many challenges too. I feel so blessed that The Lord has given us this gift and the fact that two embryos were implanted and one "took" makes me even more thankful because it could have turned out very differently. The statistics were not in our favor so to actually see a little heartbeat on the screen was surreal to say the least. On a less serious note, when we gave the news to dad (Garth) today, his response was "Only one?" He's bought enough diapers for quads. Then he proceded to ask "is there, is there, ya know...a weenie?" To which I responded "It's only the size of a grain of rice" and to which Tim added "and so is it's penis". So the gender war is on. I have great hand-me-downs if it's a girl and Tim has a name and big plans if it's a boy. Of course I guess a boy can wear Baby Juicy Couture until he's old enough to tell me "NO!". hehe.
