Heartbeat Check #1

Monday we had our first appointment with our local doctor since our ultrasound. We were able to ask more questions, but most importantly we were able to hear baby Keagan's heartbeat. The doctor was able to find it quickly and his heartrate was 148 - still strong, just as we prayed for and expected! We were also able to get a recording so we can later make a Build-A-Bear with the precious sound forever recorded (thanks to some awesome co-workers/friends, Nick and Andrea!) Our doctor was great and made sure we were satisfied with the recording and was willing to re-record as many times as we wanted. It only took two times though :)

Last night was another significant night for us - Keagan finally let Roy feel him kicking! Up until last night when he would be kicking and I would tell Roy to feel, Keagan would always stop - great sense of humor? Another trait from daddy??? Last night Roy and I were relaxing and watching a movie...and of course eating some ice cream. Well Baby K must really love chocolate because he started moving a ton, and Roy was able to enjoy feeling his movements for the first time! He absolutely cherished the moment and was so thrilled to know that Keagan was doing well. He loves his little guy so much.

We are so incredibly thankful he is doing well - strong heartbeat and lots of kicks!

Proud Daddy!
