We got to hear the baby’s heart on Friday. Most Doctors describe the heart as making a “lub dub” sound, but they are wrong. It actually makes a “whoosh whoosh” sound! haha.

We don’t know the sex yet, not for another month or so. The doc was telling us that all the baby’s parts are formed, and the rest of the pregnancy is those parts growing and maturing to the point that the baby can live outside the womb.

Not to turn baby #1 into a discussion on abortion, but I think once you have children, and you see the process happening first hand, arguments for abortion seem so selfish. I’m not talking health of the mother or health of the baby abortions, but “I will be inconvenienced” abortions. You don’t look at the ultrasound and think “wow, someday that will be my baby.” Nope, it already is your baby. There’s no magical cutoff that lets you have a clean conscience.

Value life.
