Heard the Heartbeat Today...

...best sound ever.

I was going to be content with just that, but the ultrasound machine was already on when the doctor came in our exam room, so we got a bonus peek at our Little Roo. If you think giving fetuses a nickname is dumb, feel free to mock me. Regardless, we call it our Roo, mostly so we don't have to call it "it" until the end of next month when we find out what "it" is. I'd post a picture of the ultrasound, but it's pretty unintelligible. Roo is really squished right now. So imagine a black and white Rorschach ink blot test and you'd be pretty close.

Did I mention how excited I am to be 14 weeks pregnant? Bryan has had to deal with watching my random bouts of jumping up and down and screaming, "I'm so excited!!" So weird... I just now figured out how the Kangaroo nickname developed.

C*O*N*G*R*A*T*S to both you and Bryan!!! A little princess told me a secret about a week or so ago, but I didn't want to say anything until I found out someone had posted something first, like YOU of course! :D I'm very happy for you and what an exciting time! The Hortin girls deserve some attention now instead of before it was all about the Hortin boys! ;D
