8 Weeks - Baby Westerholm

On January 8, we had our first appointment with Dr. Kirchner's office. Brandon was able to go with me and saw our baby for the first time!

We met with Dr. Kirchner's sonogram technician, Courtney, who showed us just how much Baby Westerholm had grown in 2 short weeks. The baby was about 10 times the size! We were completely shocked when Courtney showed us our baby's heart beating away on the screen.

We never anticipated getting to see the heartbeat so soon, but it was a huge relief and suddenly made everything REAL! Courtney measured Baby Westerholm's heartbeat at 162 beats per minute.

We also got an official due date since the baby was easier to measure than he/she was at 6 weeks. Baby Westerholm is expected to arrive around August 21, 2015, just in time for Brandon's birthday on August 30!
