  • I didn't have an ultrasound today (bummer!), but I scheduled it for Aug. 2.  I can't wait!!  Baby's heart rate jumped from 140 to 151 bpm.  Yay!!  I think that's a good sign for a girl, seeing how my MIL literally jumps for joy every time it gets above 140.  I think she wants "the avocado" to be a girl even more than I do.  I took one of those online tests to see what are the chances of me having a girl...as it turns out I have 66% chance of having a girl and 33% chance of having a boy!  Go me!  Yeah, the test has some really iffy questions, but it at least gives me a little bit of hope.   

    I gained 2 lbs.!  Woo hoo!  I've been under a load of stress so that is a huge accomplishment.  Dr. H said my goal is to gain a lb. a week, so at 40 weeks..I should be 120 lbs.  Weighing 120 lbs. at 4'11 with a pregnant belly....real attractive . 

    My due date is Dec. 21, not Dec. 27.
