Heartbeat

Today I had a Doctor's appointment and got to hear the baby's heartbeat- pretty cool!  The Doctor also said that she heard the baby moving around, although I didn't pick up on those noises.  I guess this is really happening!  Tom says that he thinks the baby is a girl... he doesn't know why he thinks that, but he does.  I guess we will see.

Tom was in town over the weekend and it was such a nice change of pace for me.  I have been doing so much driving lately that I really needed a break.  Not to mention that I haven't been feeling well.  To be able to stay put and have him come this direction was exactly what I needed.  It was also nice to have it be just the two of us.  So often we are surrounded by friends and family (not that I am complaining!  I love you all dearly!) that we need time for just the two of us to curl up on the couch, put in a movie, and pretend that we aren't living a crazy life right now. 

Homecooked meals, a trip to an apple orchard, lazy days- all part of a perfect weekend.  Up next- a trip to the cabin to go on a canoe trip down the Namekagon.  Something my Dad has always wanted to do with all of us.  It should be a great time!
