Ultrasounds

We had our first ultrasound today. We saw Poppy! She's amazing! And it turns out I want to own an ultrasound machine. They are incredible! With every move of the wand we could see a different part of her. It seemed like she was dancing and then it seemed she was waving - the ultrasound technician pointed it out. I kept looking at Erin's belly and imagining her in there. Geez, I am so eager to meet her!

We could see her heart and her stomach and her little hands and feet. We didn't hear her heart beat but we learned that her heart is beating 167 beats/per minute. Normal is between 120-180. We didn't only see her head but we saw her brain. That's when I told Erin I want to buy one of the machines. I want to watch Poppy all day and night!

Since the last post Erin and I went out on the town again - this time for Lisa's 30th birthday. I (FINALLY) got to take advantage of my designated driver (after 2 beers)! I know Erin isn't feeling great but she is determined to get out and about and push it. She has been incredibly accommodating to me. It seems backwards - it should be the other way around - but I am thankful. Also, I gotta say it, the highlight of that particular night was ordering the beer highlighted below. Being with Erin to celebrate Lisa's birthday was a close 2nd! ;) 

Seriously. Don't boo, vote!

Until next time.
