Heartbeat

Another successful doctor's day, but unfortunately no new picture. Today was the first time that I've actually heard the baby's heartbeat and it was fascinating! There were a few loud swishing noises as we were listening - and Dr. Frankel again laughed and let me know that the noises I was hearing was my VERY active baby moving around. I can't wait till I can actually feel the movements - hopefully it won't be too much longer.

Rodney has gone to Colorado for a long weekend. For those of you that know him well, you can probably guess the reason for the trip - WIDESPREAD PANIC! Since we aren't going to be able to make our annual New Year's trip to Atlanta to see Widespread, Rodney and Matt Ellis (Rowdy) left for a long weekend this afternoon. They have big plans for a Rockies vs. Yankees game tomorrow afternoon, then the concerts are being held Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon - and yes, they will make every show!

Since Rodney is away for the weekend, my mom, Aunt Harriett and Debbie are making there way to Charleston tomorrow - I'm SO excited! We are going to have a relaxing Charleston weekend spent beach side at Folly. What this really means is that I have to clean like a mad woman Thursday night! HA HA.

More good baby news - Rodney and I go back to the doctor on July 19th to find out the sex of our baby. We couldn't be happier because the 19th is actually Rodney's 29th birthday! It will be a very special day. Oddly enough, I haven't seen Rodney on his birthday since he turned 25 - I've been in MN in school every summer since then. We are both excited that this will be such a special day!

Please continue to keep in touch - we love the special messages from all of you :)
