It's a.... baby turtle!

Yes, it's true. According to Rian there is a baby turtle in mommy's tummy. He informed me while placing stickers on my stomach "for the baby". He then told daddy and even spread the good news to the cashier at Winco. I love Rian's ideas.
We had our 16 week check today. I can't believe how quickly the weeks fly by. We were able to hear the baby's heartbeat again which, according to the nurse, is "perfect". She spent a few seconds trying to get the heartbeat, had it for a split second and then lost it (of course in that split second I started to panic). The nurse moved the Doppler instrument around and found it again, this time the beating was louder and consistent. Rian sat straight up in the chair, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "Baby's heartbeat!" This is all so amazing what makes it even more fun is that Rian thinks so too.
We also have an ultrasound scheduled for next month!!! Eek, I can hardly wait!

  1. Wow, 16 weeks already? Cool! So, are you going to find out if it's a boy or girl at the ultrasound? And are you going to tell us... PLEASE?! :)
    That's really cute that Rian thinks it's a turtle.

    See you guys this weekend!
