12 weeks, 2 days, and many more to come

Just a quick post to say: we went to the OB today and...heard the heartbeat!! Acorn's heart was 160 beats per minute. We are officially in the less-than-1%-extremely-rare range for miscarriages. Although the ultrasound felt pretty unreal, that heartbeat...that heartbeat was visceral. I felt a little weepy and ended up giggling as the OB patiently held the dopler in place while S. fiddled with his MP3 player (which has a recording feature). S. did get a recording of it, which with any technological savvy, we may be able to post on this blog at some point.
Our little one is a lover and a fighter. Look out world! :)
