The Number Field

Yesterday we went to the baby doctor for a check-up. We've been very happy with Dr. Cherry. Appropriately enough, she had cherries painted on her toenails, which Jenny pointed out. I was more focused on something I hadn't noticed before--her lab coat had the insignia from Texas A&M embroidered on it. For those who don't pay attention to this kind of thing, the Longhorn-Aggie rivalry is as heated as any in the country. That being said, we're sticking with Dr. Cherry, despite her suspect loyalties.

Our appointment was mostly uneventful, which was good. We had just a few questions, and Dr. Cherry had good answers. Then she checked Sunflower's heartbeat, which came through loud and clear. According to the pregnancy calendar, it won't be long before I can hear the heartbeat just by putting my ear on Jenny's tummy. I'm looking forward to it.
