Dear Sprocket,
Today marks the 17th week of my pregnancy. 17 weeks! Can you believe it? Can you believe you've been gestating for 15 weeks now?
Just 23 weeks to go, we're practically half way there baby.
I had a doctor appointment today and, let me tell you I was ready for it. Waiting 5 weeks to hear your heartbeat again was too long. As this last week stretched out I was getting more and more antsy. I needed to know you were still there, still going strong.
And guess what? You didn't disappoint.
As soon as the doctor put the Doppler on my abdomen there you were - your heart was beating away LOUD and clear at 150/bpm. There was no waiting this time, no searching around for you. You wanted to make your presence known! As soon as your Dad heard your heartbeat he laughed out loud, broke into a huge smile and then kissed my forehead. It was a great moment. He was so excited! I was so excited! The doctor even giggled I think! He said you are growing just fine.
Your Dad and I can't wait another 5 weeks to hear your heartbeat again so we've ordered an amplifier to try and listen to you from home. It should be here any day. Try to be nice and loud for us okay? Your Dad's not beyond poking at my belly to wake you up.
I love you little pea.
Love,
Mama

That is incredibly sweet! I can't wait for the ultrasound. Do they do those there? I want to know the sex of the baby, okay?
Sniff. How sweet. You'll turn into a scrapbooker yet, I tell you!
