Yesterday, we had a prenatal appt. Everything is normal. No protiens or sugars in my urine, blood pressure within range and heartbeat at about 136-140 beats per minute. The only bad thing for me but I guess good thing for the kid is that I have gained 8 pounds. Not what I was hoping for but I have been sick the last few days so haven't been that active. I guess it is normal since from the first time I found out to the previous appt in Feb I hadn't gained any weight. Oh well, will try to do better with excercising.
I also had blood drawn to check for down's syndrome and other birth defects. It was only blood so I thought it couldn't hurt.
When the doctor was checking the baby's heart beat with the doppler machine, she thought it might be a boy. I guess there is an old wive's tale out there that says that boys heart beats tend to be a little slower and girl's a little higher. Who knows? We will find out at the end of this month for my next appt what we will be having and we will break the big news.
As you know we bought the paint for the kids room. Chris got really gung ho last weekend and painted the whole room. The bottom is blue and the top is green. We searched around for a cool stencil of a wave and found one that we both really liked and he is going to be doing that either today or tomorrow. We have some stencils of fish and other life so we are going to be putting those on the wall as well. We just have to get some better paint for those. It is coming along really well and it is very exciting.
Car seat is on the way and the next thing is to find a good crib to order. After we find out what we are having it is off to the store to register for some goodies.
Hope all are doing well. We are good over here. Can't wait for spring in a couple of weeks and day light savings time next week. Yahoo!!!

Ikea has nice cribs that are very reasonably priced. Good safety ratings and consumer reviews. The only catch is that you have to go down to Stoughton to pick up from the store.
