How exciting? Did Steven get to hear it? So, do we start guessing now that we know the beats? If so, I'll go with a girl. (I have a 50% chance of being right)

katherine said:

Awesome. That is so wonderful.

TwistofKate said:

Wow, that's fast :) I just love that "swishy" sound!

It's a boy!
I was told by some moron that heartbeats 140 and up a minute are males. First kid was in the 140s and was a boy. Second kid was in the 120's so I started buying pink shit. (After the ultrasound I returned it all.)

Today I get excited about good sounding hearts. Yay baby with the strong heart! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations Angie! And don't forget Hoss's diapering advice ;)

Now I suppose you're going to buy your own stethoscope so you can do this regular.

First, a huge smile broke out across my face when I read about the baby's heartbeat. No matter what is going on in this world, a baby will always make us smile inside. I'm really happy for you!!

Second, I hope Gracie is feeling better, no more nosebleeds! What a frusturating situation at the ER. that was just maddening.

Third, I do the same thing with shopping for things offseason. Right now they're discounting the summer stock because the Christmas (ack!) season things are arriving in the stores.
and Fourth, i'm off to chek out the mattress prices, my youngest daughter needs a new twin mattress!!! thanks for the tip.

my best to Gracie, tell her to keep her nose up. lol ;)

Laura said:

ps, I can spell. I just can't type very well today.
it's check, not chek
and frustrating, not the other version.

arrrgh.! I give up

kenju said:

Angie, I thought of you all night! I just watched a great TV program on the National Geographic channel about the whole 9 months in the womb. Most of the photos were shot directly in the womb showing the development of the baby. It was great! Maybe it will be repeated and you can see it?

Lucinda said:

Oh yeah, I think if it's consistently over 140 beats per minute it's a girl- Mine was and her beats were always high 140s and up. Probably just an urban legend, but what the hey? It's my two cents.
Anyhoo, congrats. That's wonderful news!

vicki said:

Nice, nice, nice. I'm smiling thinking about you and remembering my own. New life! Thank you.

MistressMary said:

Excellent news! God, it seems like so long ago that I listened to my own babies' heartbeats. Probably because it WAS so long ago.

YEAHHHH! How exciting! I always loved that sound. :)

Congrats, Angie!

~hugs~

Jennifer said:

Awwwww!! That's wonderful :)

kate said:

Wow that is so exciting, I say Boy only because you need a little variety in that house. All those girlies need a brother. Even though little girl things are so much fun!

That's exciting. Congratulations!

Michele said:

AWW! How sweet! AND it happened on MY birthday!

kenju said:

Angie, are you okay? It isn't like you to go so long between posts, so I'm wondering. Hope you are well.

Dave Morris said:

Cool! I have a recording of Courtney's heartbeat, it was a really neat experience.

kate said:

I was worried too hope all is well.

I was just figuring you have been doing a ton of work around the house.

Look forward to hearing from you again.

Jennifer said:

Me too. Wondering if everything is okay. Hope to hear from you soon.
