DOPPLER!

Jeff here for another wonderful update on the progress of Ashley and our baby! So the past couple weeks were.. umm... interesting at the doctors office and at home. Ashley has been feeling a LOT better having moved out of her first trimester into her second! yay! However, we will not find out the sex of the baby for about another month! :-( We did however take a little test that you can get at Target called "Intellegender" which claims to be 90% accurate.. but were not so sure about that. When we took the test it said that we were having a girl but we strongly feel that its not THAT accurate (due to poor product reviews) and we do not want to go out and get a bunch of baby girl stuff before we know for sure....

Ashley's visit to the doctor last week was a little scary... She went in to check the heartbeat of the baby and was told that since she was so skinny that finding the heartbeat would be a snap. The doctor was WRONG. It took him 15 min of searching for it before he gave up and had Ashley scared stiff. He told her that he would be right back and they would have to do another ultra sound to see the actual heart beat... 20 min later he came back and he finally found the heartbeat although we did not yet have the chance to hear it!

Throughout the weeks Ashley has been feeling a bit ill here and there and has FOR SURE been a LOT more tired all the time as I am sure she will tell you. All in all she is doing well and holding up and feeling fortunate that she did not, and is not going through a nightmarish symptom filled pregnancy.

Today after the Superbowl we were able to have Letty let us use her Doppler for us to actually hear the heartbeat of the child. It was an awesome experience and was very cool to say the least! Here is the video of what happened:
