Today I went to the doctor for a check up and got to hear your heartbeat for the first time. It was so amazing. The doctor says that you sound strong and healthy. I hope that is truly the case. It was exciting and I guess today made it truly real. I have another human being growing inside of me! We also reached another decision concerning you. We have agreed that we would not find out whether you are a boy or girl until your birthday in December. So far, I feel ok and excited about that decision. However I can't make any promises about later or even the day of your ultrasound. I was sort of ok not finding out with Ariel, but by the end I could hardly wait. I definitely wanted to know with Cailin and now with you I feel I can wait until the big day and be totally surprised.
