Heartbeat, It's a Lovebeat

So the other day, Jessica and I got to hear the baby's heartbeat, and I gotta admit, it was pretty rad. Hearing that woosh-woosh sound made it all real. It finally sunk in for the first time that in about six months, I'm going to be a father. Exhilarating and stressful at the same time.

Jessica continues to do well. She is still somewhat nauseous, but she seems to be doing better with it. We go in a couple of weeks to get a Quad Screen, and sometime next month, we should (finally) figure out if it's a boy or a girl.

Today marks Jessica's sixteenth week of pregnancy, and this is only my third post on this blog. I know, I know, I've been slacking, but there really hasn't been much to report. I'm hopeful that as we get further along in the pregnancy, there will be more for me to share. So before you chide me for my lack of posts, I want you to consider this: if you took all the money we in the west spend on food in one week, you could feed the third world for one year. Now, I don't know about you folks, but I can't help feeling that we're being overcharged for our groceries.
