170 BEATS PER MINUTE!!!


Whether our petus just had stage fright or whether creating millions of cells, tissues, and even body parts and organs just requires a fierce pumping, our baby's heart beat on Friday was going at 170 beats per minute! What a thrill it was to realize that roaring motor-like pulsing was from my, Mindy's and my, living baby! It was the first time we'd had any signs, other than Mindy's morning(/all-day :) sickness that our petus was there, living, and growing. The doppler instrument you see is what the doctor put against Mindy's slightly grown belly that amplified the heart beat enough for us to hear it. It was really cool... Maf and Nicki, look forward to it... for the rest of you... it's really cool... look forward to it as well.


I'm excited to get together again tonight!


Love ya all, the petus's dad

I guess a humming bird's heart beats 1,260 times a minute, so the peatus has a little bit of catching up to do.
