Baby Update

I went to the doctor yesterday and Jonathan was actually able to come this time. It was a pretty quick visit with the usual--blood pressure, weight, pee in a cup, etc. I haven't gained much weight yet (not even five pounds) but the doc said that was fine. He pulled out the dopplar again and we got to hear the heartbeat! :) He found it right away and said the baby was really moving around and kicking (which I can't feel yet, but it's only a matter of time). The baby's heart beat was about 140. I'm not sure what the theory is about that--I've heard both ways that 140 could mean boy or girl, so who knows. My mom has thought it is a boy from the beginning...we'll see! Everything with the baby is fine and I'm feeling great, so we're pretty happy. Jonathan later told me that it was "really cool" to hear the baby's heartbeat. Trust me, that's pretty big for Jonathan. It's about as emotional as he gets! :) I'm almost 15 weeks and go back February 6th. Maybe I'll feel the baby by then 'cause that would be really awesome. We finally took a picture of my tummy. I don't know how long it will be before I can get it on here, though. The library won't let me post pics, so I have to wait until I'm at someone's house where I can do it. Hopefully soon, though!

I've heard that a heartbeat under 150 means a girl :) But, obviously, that isn't foolproof.

Can't wait to see the photo :) I'll put one up of me at 12 weeks.

Hey Amanda!! I am so glad to hear that everything is going so well with the pregnancy! I loved being pregnant, I'll be praying that you continue to feel good!! Enjoy this time, even though you can't wait until July, but this is a really fun time too!!! I look forward to the picture (it took me awhile to gain wait too, so don't get worried, it'll come!!). Carson's heartrate was always really high, like 170, but we took a prenatal class and the nurse said it doesn't matter, so who knows. Are you going to find out?
