16 Week Check

I had my 16 week OB check this morning and everything seems right on track.  The nurse found baby's heart beat right away.  Measured in at 135 beats per minute....old wives tale signaling boy here!  I've gained 7 pounds so far, which isn't terrible, I think I'm right in line with where I was with Hannah, which is better than I was with Henry.  I seemed to go a little crazy on that first pregnancy....The exciting news is that I scheduled our 20 week ultrasound when we get to see our little babe and find out if baby is a boy or girl!  Tuesday, March 12th at 11am. 

So far my intuition has led me toward girl.  Main reason being that I was the sickest out of all the pregnancies during the first trimester, and that I'm eating sugar by the pound!  Seriously, I will pour a tablespoon on my Raisin Bran cereal.  And when my sister found out she was having a girl, it made me lean toward girl even more since we totally have that twin tuition thing going on.  We always text/email each other at the same exact time, our hair is always the same length, people have though we were twins our entire lives.  So I guess I just assumed that we would have the same gender baby.  But honestly, I really don't care either way.  Growing up, I didn't have any brothers and always said I wanted two boys and a girl, but since I've grown up and have developed such great relationships with my sisters, I would love for Hannah to have a sister and share that same bond.  And it would be fun to have a girl since Heidi just had a girl, and Danielle is having a girl, and my friend Erin just had a girl.  Andy's only comment is that he thinks boy, so that way they have house majority and get to make the TV choices around the house so that sports can be on the entire time.  Joy! 

 So in 1 month we will find out - pink or blue!!
