Baby White Update

Shannon and I went to our scheduled appointment yesterday with the nurse midwife at Shannon's OBGYN's office to go over lab results, general information, and to hear the baby's heartbeat. All of Shannon's first round of blood work came back normal. The midwife gave her a referral for more blood work to test for genetic abnormalities and what not to be done next week. After going through the results, the midwife advised us that it may be hard to detect the heartbeat at first since babies often move and "hide". No sooner than she had said that, our baby's heartbeat was coming in loud and clear at around 150 bpm. So far so good, according to the doc and the midwife. Shannon's return appointments are set for September, including an ultrasound at the end of the month to find out the sex of the baby. We are very excited as we travel down this road. Thank you for all of your support and prayers.
