Dear baby,
I can't believe how long it's been since I updated this blog! So much has happenned in the last two months, I have no idea how to even start recording it. I will write a lengthy update in the next couple of days, with lots of fun pictures and stories, but for now, I couldn't help posting something SUPER cool.
Your daddy and I rented a fetal doppler, that we can use to hear your heartbeat whenever we want! Because we only see the ob/gyn once a month right now, we thought it would be fun (and reassuring too) to have the ability to check in on you every now and then to make sure that your heart is beating strong inside of my tummy. Well, today we got the doppler in the mail, and we made our first recording!
Click here to hear your heartbeat!
Right now, your heartbeat is about 120 beats per minute (woah!) and your little heart is pumping a few QUARTS of blood every single day. Can you imagine? Your little heart, which is about the size of a pinto bean, already so active. It's amazing to think about! Keep up the good work! Mommy and daddy will post sounds of your heartbeat every now and then, just because we think it's so neat to hear.
In the meantime, you should know that you are growing so fast, and mommy had to go buy maternity clothes for the first time this weekend! It's so weird to have pants with no zippers or buttons on them- just elastic so that they stretch as my tummy grows. It kind of feels like I'm back in preschool with my elastic band pants! I'll post pictures of the clothes I bought soon so that our friends and family can laugh at how silly they look. But wow, are they comfortable!!!!
Stay tuned for a REALLY long update before the end of the week!
Love,
Mama

Dear Baby Cousin,
Your parents have done a great job documenting your life thus far. It was so cool to hear your heartbeat - it is very loud for one so small!! :) We are all looking forward to meeting you and welcoming another member into our ever-growing family.
Try not to give your mom too tough a time while you're in her belly, but a good kick every now and then (especially if you're bored) will keep her on her toes. :) Keep growing big and strong. I can't wait to meet you!
Love
Cousin Katie
