13 week OB appt.

We had our second OB appt. today. Brian was able to come along and we heard the heartbeat. 166 beats per minute! I hear later in pregnancy, if the heartbeat is fast, it's more than likely a girl. Who knows if the wives tales regarding the sex are true....but as a more reliable source, the nurse was looking at the sonogram and pushing on my belly to get the baby to move, when she said she thought she saw a "third leg" as baby Bub turned over. Well, Brian was just all smiles for the remainder of the day! I was all smiles too because Brian treated me to a decaf pumpkin spice latte after the visit!

We have decided not to do any invasive testing as it may harm baby Bub. We'll only do testing by drawing my blood (which will be EVERY dr. visit, gulp!). They did measure (from the sonogram) the space by the baby's head and ruled out Down's Syndrome and various other disorders. That's good to hear! Everything during the appt. was fine and so far, so good!

It doesn't matter what we have, as long as it's a happy, healthy (and quiet) baby!
