Baby Update

We had an appointment today and all went well. The baby's heart rate was 156. A lot of people use the heart rate to indicate the baby's sex. The faster it is they more likely it is a girl so they say. The first few months the heart rate was in the 150-160 range and lately it has been around 140. However, the past two weeks it has been in the high 150's. I believe that the baby is a boy, Alex thinks it is a girl. Obviously, we are not going to find out the sex of the baby or this guessing would not be happening. In all honesty, I grew up wanting a little girl so I could dress her up. Then one of my best friends had a little boy and to see him makes my heart melt. She delivered him early and has been through rough times with his health, so really I pray that we have a healthy baby. I don't care either way-boy or girl-I just wish that it is healthy and happy. Anyways, I had my test for gestational diabetes and then a shot becasue I am A- and Alex is A+ (even both of our blood types are A). We now start appointments every 2 weeks for the next 8 weeks and then we will have an ultrasound so determine if I will be induced or allowed to go until my due date! Yikes, this is all so scary and overwhelming!
