Another successful doctor's visit! Now I have to go every 2 weeks, which isn't too bad I guess. That means that we can hear the baby's heartbeat more often. Michael was able to come to this appointment too, so he was pretty excited!

The doc asked us if we knew if it was a boy or girl and we said that we didn't know. She commented that the heartrate was about 138 beats/minute, which means that it's likely to be a boy...and then the heartrate shot up to 150 beats/minute (which can indicate girl). The last few times it was around 150, so I guess the little gaffer is going to keep us guessing until the end!

There's not much time left for Michael's school. There's just over 3.5 months left to go. He was 2nd highest in his class of 70 students for one exam he did over the holidays, and got 89% in the other class. Right now he's back at the university working on assignments and projects, which can be time consuming, but he's chugging right along, making sure that it's done right.

Also, in his music class, he needs to play the recorder. It looks like a clarinet, but easier to play. Here's a picture of him practicing with his buddy Mat. They did get better after they had practiced for an hour. And for those with a keen eye, yes, those are 3 bottles of whiskey on the table, but they had some *after* they had finished practicing!
