Baby!

I finally got to the doctor the other day and as far as I know everything is fine. This is audio of the heartbeat. Mine is the lower sounding one in the background - the louder faster one is the baby's. It took about fifteen minutes and two different nurses to finally find it, but it's there and strong sounding. I go back on Dec 2nd for a more thorough exam and won't have an ultrasound until sometime in January. Avril was so cute after we finally got to hear the heartbeat, she pulled a chair over to the table and climbed up and hugged my belly. lol. She was so excited. And she's still insistent that she's having a sister and Alex is having a brother. Doesn't matter how many times I tell her there is only one in there and we don't get to pick what it is, she is for sure they each get one. So that will be a difficult bridge to cross later on.
We're all still having a hard time getting over colds. Alex's cough is getting worse - he stayed home from school today and both of the kids are going to the doctor again in the morning. I'm hoping we're all feeling better by next week! I can't wait to see everybody!

We've all been sick these past few weeks. This is Avril entertaining herself while waiting in the doctor's office.
