We Heard a Heartbeat!

I'm really not trying to turn this into a pregnancy blog, but with the trouble we've had getting another baby here, every step forward is wonderful!

I had an OB appointment, yesterday and we were able to hear our baby's heartbeat. It is such a reassuring sound! I always love it when I can feel movement all the time, it helps me not to worry so much! We took the kids along. Luke always loved to hear Belle's heartbeat, so we thought that would be fun.

Belle is actually excited, now, too! Before she really didn't want the baby to come. Now, she is all excited that she got to hear it! I think as it becomes more real, her two-yr-old brain will start to be a little more on board as well.

The heart rate was 150 beats per minute. Apparently the Old Wives think that means it's a girl as well! In looking that up, I found a funny site that has lots of folklore about whether you are carrying a boy or girl!

Congratulations! I bet that was "music to your ears!" :-) Do you have names picked out yet?? I am so excited for you!

How fun! I looked at those Chinese calendars when I was pregnant too, and I think it was wrong for both, but I'm not sure.

Thank you for posting that site, it is tons of fun (and goes a long way to proving I'm having a boy). Though I'm laughing at one that says "blooming in pregnancy." My nose blooms to twice it's size, is that what it means?

Hey, as long as you aren't carrying a raccoon, I figure you're good.

Congrats and good luck with the next few months! Woo-hoo!
