The Heartbeat

Last Tuesday, we had a doctor visit and were able to listen to the baby's heartbeat. The heartbeat was really fast and strong. The Nurse Practicioner said that it sounded healthy. We have since been informed that boys generally have faster heartbeats. However my parents seem to be convinced that the baby will be a girl. I suppose that all baby heartbeats sound fast anyway. Only 8 more weeks until we will be able to find out the truth via ultrasound.
