New Baby Update

I just wanted to update everyone (especially my grandparents) that I had a doctor's appointment yesterday.  Everything went well.  It took what seemed like forever to find the heartbeat, which was a bit scary.  But after the nurse couldn't find it, my doctor finally did.  It was good to have that reassurance as I approach 12 weeks that everything seems to be going well. 


I think that the nausea is letting up some.  I don't feel sick nearly as often as I did, but I think the exhaustion has gotten a little worse. 

Also, I just found that Sterling's heartbeat was 126 at his first ultrasound (7 weeks).  Thanks mom I had to hack into your email to find this information ;)  This baby had a whopping 171 at 7 weeks.  So I know those who go by heartbeat will be screaming girl.  While we would LOVE to have a little girl, another little boy would be fun too.  We could use most of Sterling's clothes and they could eventually be roomies, but I have to admit that I have already found the perfect shade of very pale pink to paint the nursery!  Sterling answers "girl baby" every time we ask him if he wants a girl or a boy.  I guess we will just have to wait 8 more weeks to find out for sure!

Yay! Thanks for the update. I'm with Sterling - "girl baby" here too. But another little man would be precious :)
