Galloping horses

Yesterday we heard our baby's heartbeat for the first time! It was awesome! I was so glad that Ryan was able to come to a doctor's appointment with me, and we were together when we heard it. It was fast - 174 bpm! (Sounded like a horse galloping, I thought) Ryan asked if I finally believe it now that there is someone in there! I guess I believe it, but it still doesn't seem real somehow! Everything else was good, too. My doctor is very pleased with how everything looks.
