Lets first discuss how I call the baby peanut. Until we know (if we find out) if the baby is a boy or girl, I want to give it a name. No more "it" or "baby", it is now - peanut. Why peanut you ask? Because that is how big the baby is!! Next month - probably apple ;)
Next - THE BABY HAS A HEARTBEAT!!! That's right! Today Jason and I had our doctors appointment. We thought we would be getting a sonogram also - but this sound made up for it. Through the static we heard what sounded like a thumping in a washing machine. It was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. The doctor said the babies heartbeat was 150. A typical heartbeat is between 120 and 160 - so we are healthy!! One of my friends said that the baby is a girl because girls heartbeats are always over 145 - we will see (she has two children of her own - one boy and one girl). But the doctor said it is higher due to the fact that peanut is so small. I keep telling Jason the baby is a girl - I feel like I just know - but I could be full of S--t.
Next up - my WONDERFUL friend Monica let me come over and invade her old maternity clothes. She had boxes of them - and let me have my pick. Lets just say I will not need to do any more shopping. I walked out of there with two VERY heavy bags of clothes. Ill tell you - maternity is a pain - having to re-do your whole wardrobe. But yet, so wonderful :)
That's all for now - but keep posted - we are scheduled for an ultrasound around the 25th of this month!!

Awww. So exciting. I can't wait to see your belly get big!
Glad to hear about the heartbeat. The old wives tale about the heartbeat isn't always true. Marion was supposed to be a boy according to the heartbeat stuff and we all know how that turned out!
