Heart Rate = 180
No, that's not my anaerobic threshold. It's the heart rate of the little baby in Ellie's belly, heard today by very, very proud parents at our first appointment!
While I'm still excited for the event on Saturday...there are much more important 'events' coming my way! And I can't stop smiling!
So...no Boston Marathon next April--Ellie will be 8 months along. But I'm pretty sure there aren't any restrictions on three hour car rides to Chippewa Falls, are there?
See you next week with a North Face Report!

Congratulations Nic & Ellie.
Shoot! Not first!
BUT I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND ELLIE, MY BROTHER!
This is the best thing ever! Man, you're gonna find that out on your own. And I'll be NO help with advice or insight on the pregnancy aspect, since we adopted Ian and missed out on all of that stuff ... so you'll have to tell ME about it.
But I can tell you that being a Dad will make everything else in your life pale by comparison!
Tis could NOT have happened to a nicer, more deserving couple than you and Ellie, Nic!
Welcome (a little early) to The Parenthood Club!
Congrats! Hearing the heart beat is an amazing sound.... hope Ellie is feeling good!
That's awesome news!! Congrats to you both!
Have fun at NF - you'll have a great race. Keep it steady and fly those last 10 miles!!
Congrats!!!
Congratulations! That is awesome news! Welcome to parenthood! Better go get the infant-sized racing singlet now!
Congrats! I suspected as much - the announcement that there'd be an announcement meant something where you had to inform some people personally first. If it's a girl, name her Glaven.
Yeah, and if she's cranky and INSANE (in that ultra runner way), name her SteveQ ... only because SuzieQ is already taken ... BY STEVE!1!
KERTWANG!1!
But I know your daughter won't be cranky or insane so I retract my previous comment and instead offer this: My agreement with SteveQ that you should name her Glaven.
Kertwang? (But just who is the kertwangee of this kertwang? Man, life is just so much easier when I stick to insulting YOU, Nic!))
And if it's a boy, ask for a paternity test because there's NO WAY you were supplying anything other than girl tadpoles - not with the running gloves YOU wear.
Ahhh! See? That's much better! Now all's right with the world.
Congrats! May she set a labor/delivery PR. And can Garmin record that?
and here I thought we had you convinced to only use your penis for good.... not evil. and if Glaven's involved, you know there's some evil in there.
Hope ellie's feeling ok. the next 22 years can be kinda rough on her.
Congratulations!
What an exciting time for you and Ellie.
I know you will be wonderful parents.
Tammy
Congrats.
The world is only big enough for one Glaven. Wouldn't the girl version be Glavena? Glavina? um, no, that doesn't sound good at all.
Hope Ellie is doing well and watch out for the Daddy-to-be baby weight.
Congratulations!
Huge congrats, warlock!!
I was 7 months preggo & stuck in the car for 6 hours. That SUCKED big time, so please don't subject Ellie to that.
Joy Run sent me over to congratulate you.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Perhaps the heart rate was only 20 and there were 9 babies - you'd have your own reality TV show.
Can't give you any advice on fatherhood. When the egg splits, so do I.
Between North Face and NeuroFibromatosis, I'm expecting you to name the baby N.F.
Congrats, future daddy!
congrats indeed!
My son is two months old, and I'm loving figuring all this out. Good luck!
Yankees fan? Really? Republican wasn't bad enough? Next post: "You know, Satan had a point..."
