13 Week Visit

Ben and I went to see the doctor again yesterday. No ultrasound or exam was done so I don't have any new pictures of "Peanut" to post, but we did get to hear the heartbeat. She monitored it for about 2 minutes, said she was picking up both my heart rate and the baby's, but all I could hear was mine. AND THEN WE HEARD...whoosh, whoosh, whoosh going 90 to nothing and we knew that was our little one! :) She monitored it for about 3 minutes total and said it wavered between 150-160 beats per minute which is a good strong heartbeat! If you believe in old wives tales, this heart rate would mean we're having a girl. But I don't believe in any of them, so we'll just have to wait and see. We're really hoping that at the next visit (17 weeks) we'll get to have an ultrasound, "Peanut" will be in a good position, and we'll be able to find out boy or girl! Well, that's all there is in baby news! I'll update again in a few weeks with another pic of the belly.

Another Look at the Belly...

This is at 12 weeks, 2 days. The belly has definitely grown since the last pic at almost 9 weeks. I'm going to have to buy some maternity pants this weekend as my jeans and work pants no longer fit. Yay for new clothes! And yes, those are Halloween pajama pants I have on...I'm getting into the fall season a little early.

We have another doctor visit this coming Wednesday, the 23rd. We're very excited because we should get to hear the heartbeat and get another shot of "Peanut!" I'll post another update after that visit.
