In a heartbeat

Yesterday my wife had an OB/Gyn appointment and being the supportive husband and excited father I went with her.  This was the appointment where the doctor checked the baby's heartbeat.  The doctor moved the device around my wife's belly until he found the baby's heartbeat.  We listened to it for about 20 to 30 seconds.  It was an incredible experience.  This is the moment where it really hit home for me.  Seeing my baby in an ultrasound picture is great, but being able to hear the heartbeat is a whole different level.  I now have further proof that the baby is alive.  For me it is an experience that I will never forget.  I cannot wait to find out the gender of my baby!
