That's a Fast Heartbeat!

We had a nice experience with Dr. Pelino this week, our first time meeting with someone other than Dr. Bliss. We enjoyed her very much and we heard Grover's heartbeat for the first time. I never realized it, but baby's hearts beat about 130 beats per minute, much faster than ours. It was cool when Dr. Pelino moved the ultrasound machine back and forth from Karen's heartbeat to Grover's. It sounded healthy to me.

Karen and I opted not to do the costume thing this year for Halloween, instead splurging on a nice dinner with our friends Kevin and Stacey down the road at the Tavern. Worth every penny! Here's Karen, now at week 28, before we left:




Karen goes to her first baby shower this weekend, so we'll have to clear some space for all of our new gifts. Oh, and tomorrow night, we go to our first birthing class. We have our fingers crossed that Jay won't pass out during the graphic birth video.
