Last Friday Bruce and I went to the doctor for a check up and to hear the baby's heartbeat! It was super exciting to finally hear the heartbeat especially since it took our doctor a little while to find it! The heart beat was between 160-170 and the doctor let us know that an old
wives (yes wives and not wise) tale about heartbeats is: "The faster the heartbeat the more likely you are to have a girl." Then when I was telling her about how I was feeling, I mentioned my nausea seemed to really only come at night. She then said according to an old
wives tale: "If nausea comes in waves and is less severe then you will most likely have a boy." So, we will just have to wait an see! Overall the baby is still very healthy and we will continue to pray for a healthy baby and an easy uneventful pregnancy!
Our next appointments are August 12
th and August 26
th! August 12
th is for a NT which is a sonogram that will check for
down syndrome and is about 92% accurate. They also said that we would be able to find out if it was a boy and be about 95% sure if it was a girl. Since it is not an exact 100% what we will be having Bruce does not want to know, but I do ...
sooooo I just might have to keep it a secret for a little while! (; Our appointment on August 26
th is a routine check up with our doctor. We will hear the heartbeat again and begin talking about what hospital we want to deliver at! So, a lot more exciting news coming SOON!
