DLB, gimme a beat!

So we had our second visit today and I must admit I feel like I'm a little kid waiting to see what is inside the biggest christmas present that my parents have so nicely put under the Christmas tree 2 weeks prior to the big day. I can't wait to see the "egg sac" (what ever we should be calling it now) and how DLB is growing. Lo and behold DLB has grown like crazy and the first thing we see is this amazing little flutter vibrating at what seems like a thousand miles a second. Already DLB has a heartbeat and you know it is dang near the cutest little heartbeat ever! I will never forget how amazed and proud I am to see this life emerging inside my beautiful wife, every day I feel so blessed that God has provided us our baby.

Today I did not want to ask any questions, didn't want to repeat the last visit. I almost made it but had to ask one when the doctor said that since Danielle's blood was rh+ she would probably need a shot of Rogaine later in the pregnancy. My mind immediately stopped and tried to figure out why she would start loosing her hair due to her blood during pregnancy and my mouth did not hesitate to blurt out a question. Luckily in this instance, somewhere between my minds dictionary and my unthinking tounge, I simply asked "What was that for?" rather than "Is my wife going to be balding?" or worse yet "Will that make the baby look like a gorilla when it's born?". I'm either learning or lucky that a twist of fate preemted my words. I love fate.

The shot was of Rogam and honestly I don't know if I understood what it was for other than to ensure that this baby and any others in the future were compatible with Danielle's blood. He did not sound very concerned with it so I'm sure it's minor.

Not important like male pattern baldness.


This is our first picture of our egg sac from the first visit.


My how time flies. The doctor estimates DLB is 7 weeks old now and our tentative due date is March 31st. Hopefully not a day later on April Fool's Day. My wife won't deal with 2 of those in the house.
