Week 18

Today was my monthly doctor's appointment, and everything is going fine. We heard the heartbeat (which still sounds like a washing machine to me) and even heard a few movements, although I have yet to identify any feelings as such. Our twenty week ultrasound is scheduled for two week from Friday, and we're looking forward to (hopefully) finding the baby's gender then and starting our negotiation of names.

Thank you all for your kind words and congratulations. It's been fun to share the news with friends and family far and wide. Another use of technology for which I am grateful.
