8 weeks...32 more to go!

YEAH! The Helmer baby is growing at a fast rate and right on time. Dr. Wilson expects that this baby is here to stay. It looks like the bean has implanted itself on the posterior wall of the uterus, which is a great position. As we watched, we saw what looked like a big blob, but as the Dr. walked us through the ultrasound, she pointed out the arm and leg buds and the head and tail. The heartbeat was visible as a little flashing on the screen. It was beating one hundred miles per minute. We feel so excited and blessed. Rob and I will go back to the OB in four weeks to hear the heartbeat!
