Hello! Today we had a doctor's appointment and everything went really well! The babies heartbeat was 132 bpm. Its heartbeats have pretty much ranged between 172 (in the early days) and 129!! Very hard to predict the sex with the wide range of heartbeats! I had another lady at work today tell me she thinks it is a boy. The consensus seems to be boy, but the odd person has said it's a girl. It is interesting to hear all the reasons and theories! The way they predict is if you are carrying low/high, if you look more beautiful/tired than usual, if you're carrying all out front or in your behind!!!, etc., etc.! We will certainly prove a lot of people wrong if we have a girl! Everyone always ask what we want and I always say either as long as it is healthy, which is a bit of a "cliche", but it is so true! I think most people would agree that you really don't have a preference when you are pregnant. I think before I was pregnant I leaned towards one way, but now we are just so excited to be parents and meet the baby that it really doesn't matter what sex it is! I've definitely noticed an increase in some of my pregnancy symptoms! The heartburn is unreal, which is usually cured by Tums or Zantac, finding a comfortable sleep position is getting harder, my ankles are swelling, my back is bothering me sometimes and I'm back to being as tired as I was in the 1st trimester!! But overall everything is great and I really can't complain! You have to expect changes considering the miracle that is occurring within you!! We now have to see the doctor every 2 weeks and apparently closer to the due date you see the doctor every week. I hope all is well with everyone and everyone had a Happy Valentine's Day!!
Love Tracy, Cal and Baby
