11 week Check-Up with Dr. Umholtz!

Robbie and I went in today for our 11 week check-up and got to hear the heartbeat of our baby. Dr. Umholtz said the heartbeat is good and strong at approximately 160 beats per minute. Robbie asked her if she could determine the sex of the baby based on the beats per minute and Dr. Umholtz told him, "Of course, it's a girl!" She paused for a couple of seconds and replied, "and I'm usually right 50% of the time." It took Robbie a minute to get a grasp of what she was saying because I think he was in shock that she said it might be a girl. It was very funny to see Robbie sweat. We go back to visit another doctor on Monday, December 29th for an early screening and might actually find out the sex of the baby earlier than what we thought. Neither one of us cares whether the baby is a girl or a boy, but we definitely hope it is healthy. This is a very fun and exciting time for us!
