Active Baby Briggs...is anyone surprised?

Well, Carrie and I had our second OB appointment on Friday where our doctor was unable to located Baby Briggs' heartbeat because he/she was moving around so much. We actually had to get another sonogram where we were able to see the baby moving around, playing with it's umbilical cord, kicking, etc.

The doctor was still unable to pick up the heartbeat so had to try Doppler and record in order to get the beats per minute (bpm). She said that the range they were looking for was between 110-160...Baby Briggs came racing in at 158 bpm. A very healthy Baby Briggs! :)

Carrie is still feeling good though alternating from being tired and being hungry. We are very excited and seeing the changes in the ultrasound pictures compared to last time.

Carrie is starting to show and the maternity clothes that Louisa and Kristi got her and the clothes that my mom has made will start coming in handy.

Louisa and Kristi surprised us with an amazing start to the baby nursery. Beginning with some adorable baby clothes, two stuffed animals and this incredibly soft blanket (that I am tempted of "borrowing"). We are making room in the bedroom closet to hang everything up. :) Out of the way of Jackson's inquisitive mind and mouth...:)

Having a good excuse to see the lil' one again -- what a wonderful treat!! (Though I do hope there wasn't the bit of worry while you waited for the sonogram...)

Isn't it amazing? Hehee... I'm so glad that ultrasound machines are not yet mass produced... I don't think I would get anything done during pregnancies if I could watch the baby play in there all the time!

Hadn't thought of that...but so true...I would want to stay at home and not have Carrie move at all. :)
