two hearts beat as one

Ted & I had the wonderful opportunity to hear our little one's heartbeat last week at our second Dr appt with Dr Ghattas. The fast thump thump thump of our little bundle of joy was enough to send chills up and down our spines. LIFE! Altho i have already felt the little bugger move (Dr Ghattas thinks i'm nuts and gassy) it was awfully fascinating to hear the heart beating. not only that, but we also heard a rapping of baby moving around. this little bugger is a mover and a shaker! i could've told her that! the third sound she pointed out was the placenta. swoosh swoosh swoosh. it's all rather fascinating and very eye opening. i have a baby growing inside of me! a product of ted and me....a little human being. you just can't explain the joy until you've been there. Oh, and for those of you curious as to the beats per minute....we were at 160...chocolate milk induced?

On Father's Day we did a whole lot of nothing. I got Ted some sandals he wanted and needed and baby got him a burp cloth that says I love Daddy, a jumper with a Boston Terrier on it for baby and a little one piece that says Tax Deduction. Hopefully, baby will be born this year! What do dads usually do on Father's Day? I think it's just a day where they do whatever it is they want to do. i made breakfast, we hung out, made dinner....and just spent some quality time together. ted doesn't quite feel like a Daddy yet.

i have been buying maternity clothes as my middle keeps getting thicker. Gap, i've found, has some reasonable things and they are trendy and cool. i got some cargo pants this weekend that are camo and i love them! i am finding drawstrings to be the best! My belly is protruding a bit more. it feels big to me, but when i look in the mirror, it appears small and unnoticeable. i keep saying i will post pics...i swear i will soon.

The house SHOULD become ours in the near future. we are hoping for settlement on 6/29 or 7/6. Either way, it's soon! then there will be pics a plenty. ted and I drove over the other day and sat flabbergasted by all the outdoor work that needs to be done just to unveil the house. the forest has taken over now that things are growing....it's horrible. it's like the ground is swallowing the entire thing.
