I had another doctor's appointment yesterday... I got to hear Archer's heartbeat for the first time! It was SO LOUD but so steady and strong... the doctor said it was great, that he's got a very healthy heart, which is SUCH a relief, knowing how much heart problems run in both sides of our family.

Every night before bed I spend some time holding my belly and feeling for his movements. I felt him move for the first time from the outside last night. I only felt it because I could feel it on the inside as well as the outside, but it was still very light. I tried to get Mike to feel it, but he couldn't. :( Still, soon! If I can already feel him moving from the outside, Mike will feel him soon :)

The weather is finally cooling down, which is definitely helping my comfort level. I always do better in chilly weather... those are my thriving days, so I like to get things done while it's chilly outside. Maybe I'll be ready to take care of some necessities around here finally!

I can't believe I'm almost halfway done with the pregnancy. It's ridiculous. It happened SO FAST (like everyone tells me) but I'm not looking forward to the last month, I heard that's the most uncomfortable. I just am soooo looking forward to having our baby here in the world to love and care for. We're both so excited. I can't wait to meet my baby!!!

Love,
Melody
