I wanted to post a quick update from last week's post. I had my doctor's appointment this week, baby and I are doing good. The heartbeat of baby is moving fast. My midwife kept calling it a "he" during the whole visit. It made me chuckle a little. From what I have heard from various people, a strong fast heartbeat means it is a boy and slower heartbeat means it is girl. But I believe that could be all rubbish. I had a strong fast heartbeat. . . .they thought I was a boy. . . .and then I popped out. . . .little Miss Newton. We find out the sex of the baby a week from today!!! John and I couldn't be more excited!! We want to plan and pick out for the baby. Right now we are shopping around for the crib and baby dresser. It can all we overwhelming because there is so much to get for the little one and there are so many options for everything. So I keep telling myself, one thing at a time. My cramping is starting to subside. The midwife confirmed with me that the cramping is indeed "growing pains." I am petite and this little one is starting to grow at a rapid pace. Just last week I posted a picture of my belly barely showing, well yesterday the little one decided to take the plunge and really pop out of my belly. I am beginning to look more on the pregnant side and less like I am bloated.
John has one more week left of school until the winter break. I can't wait because then he'll have more time to spend with his wife. How exciting for him!! More time to help me get ready for this little peanut growing inside me.
Love to All! Check back in next week for the reveal of the baby's sex. . . .are we destined for blue or pink???? I'd be curious to hear what everyone's prediction is. . . .
