Friday R. and I went to our baby doctor. I wasn't sure what this visit would entail, so I was even more excited to get to hear our baby's heartbeat!!!! I almost cried it was so precious!! There's something so sweet about the sound! And our little one was running a marathon or something in there!!! 160 beats!! Last time we got to see a mini-ultrasound 'cause we couldn't hear the heartbeat. That was cool, but it's hard to tell what you're looking at on such a little screen. But a heartbeat is pretty recognizable and it makes it seem all the more real that we're actually having a BABY!
I was also really encouraged in asking our doctor some questions about child-birth and different positions and practices. The more I read and talk to others about birth and delivery, the more I REALLY want to stick with a natural approach to birth. In talking with our doctor it seems like she's very supportive of that!

Hey Mollie! I just wanted to let you know that I too am planning on giving birth naturally. So I wanted to tell you about the program I'm using, called Hypnobabies. It's basically just a technique to be able to relax deeply, stay calm, and let your body do what it was made to do. You start listening to the CD's around week 32, so you've still got plenty of time to look into it. But I'm in the middle of the third week of the program, and I really think it's going to be awesome! My sister used Hypnobabies to give birth to her second child, and she can't say enough good things about it. So I'll let you know how it actually goes for me, but I just wanted to put the bug in your ear about it! :) I'm so glad everything is looking good for you guys - I'll never forget the first time we heard our precious boy's heartbeat! (Soon, you'll get to hear it every time you're at the doctor's office!)
That is so exciting! I can't wait to meet baby Callahan!
