beats per minute!! We heard the baby's heartbeat at our appointment this morning - which is an amazing sound! My doctor laughed when I asked if that meant it was a boy?! Dave proceeded to tell her about some of the other fun "tests" we've read online to determine the sex of your baby (ie: the Drano Test - ask Dave if you want details). She told us to be patient for one more month and she'll get us the "real" results!

Our ultrasound and next follow-up appointment is scheduled for February 25th. We are anxious to find out if it's a boy or girl - but will be keeping those results a secret! I personally feel like it's a girl and am drawn to anything pink right now - infact, I just bought a new pink purse for spring. So we'll see. Feel free to take bets! Cuddle up and stay warm!
