OB Appointment #2

Had my second OB appointment today and everything went great!  I have lost 5 pounds since my last visit and they seemed a little concerned.  I assured the doctor that I wasn't dieting - which I'm not!  I just think baby is kicking my metabolism into overdrive.  All of my bloodwork from my previous appointment came back perfect and my blood pressure has been great as well.

During my first OB appointment they tried to find the baby's heartbeat with the doppler and weren't able to find it.  That scared me to death so they sent me for a sonogram where everything was just fine.  Today she was able to easily pick up that beautiful heartbeat on the doppler.  I was so relieved when I heard that sound!  The doctor asked me if I wanted to hear her guess as to the sex of the baby.  I said "of course!" and she said "I think it's a boy!".  She said that she could tell because the heart rate was slower, not fast like a girl.  She said she's right about 90% of the time.

My next appointment is on February 23rd and after that one they will schedule the sonogram to determine the sex - hopefully that same week.

Tim and I are going to go start our registry at Babies R Us on Friday.  We got an awesome list of "best products" from our Newborn Care Specialist that we are going to take with us.
