More belly, more heartbeats!

   We heard the heartbeat again at the doctor's office today. I actually stayed home sick today with a cold, and the office called to see if we could move the appointment time up, which we could because I was home sick today, so Rod got to come! He was so excited. If he couldn't come, I was planning on trying to record it, but he came and I forgot. Don't worry, despite my lack of audio clip of our baby's heartbeat, there is still a way you can hear it. Just ask Rod. He does the best imitation of the baby's heartbeat I've ever heard. He was doing it all the way home from the doctor's office. He's gonna be such a good daddy!
    My mom tells me that a baby's heartbeat sounds like a train (chooochoochoochoo). But what I hear is different. I wonder if it's just because it's earlier in the pregnancy, but the baby's heartbeat is more of a whooshwooshwhoosh sound. Again, ask Rod, he's really good at it. On the way home we decided it's actually just an Asian thing. We're having a half Asian baby, so their heart speaks a slightly different language, more whooshy than choo-ey. I hear that the ch sound is a hard one to learn how to pronounce anyway, so I think that explains the difference.
  So, I'm 15 weeks and a day now, and I am DEFINITELY showing. I'm so excited about this too! I was nervous for a little while because I thought I was just eating too much, or not healthy enough, but when I went to the doctor's today, it turns out I haven't gained any weight yet in the pregnancy. And yet, in this picture, you can definitely see a belly there. I have quite the baby bump. This means that I've slimmed down a little bit elsewhere, because that belly hasn't added any weight. I'm just so excited to have a visible baby bump. It is now available for all to see and get excited with me!
