TGIF!

An email to those in the know (from 6/26):

Well, we started this beautiful morning off with a nice, cool walk with Murphy and then headed to our appointment. The midwife tried to reassure us that we may not hear a heartbeat today and if that was the case we'd do an ultrasound but it was nothing to worry about. After that, she took her little fetal doppler and found the heartbeat in about .2 seconds!!! We got to listen and smile for quite a little bit, which was nice. I think it's really setting in for Mark - the heartbeat was a good reassurance for him. I've had lots of other nagging things to remind me daily! :) Today is 12 weeks and 4 days. We have another appointment in 4 weeks. I'm feeling much better and the news is getting out...I told the other managers at work this week so now everyone at work knows!

In other exciting news, we close on our house today at 4pm! We have friends helping us move stuff on Sunday, which we're so thankful for! Although we did offer the incentive of free pizza! Mark's dad arrives in town on Monday (to help with some projects) and his mom, aunt, and sister should be here Thursday or Friday! This will be their first trip to Minnesota so we're hoping to show off what a great place it is!

Have a great weekend! Feel free to call...and know that we aren't ignoring you if we don't call or email, we're just a little busy at the moment!

Love (and apologies for the excessive use of exclamations),
Dani and Mark.
