Doctors Appointment

Today I had my 16 week appointment. They were able to find the heartbeat right away and it was in the high 140 to low 150 range. The doctor said that I had a very cooperative baby. I said hopefully it will stay that way. LOL :) According to urban legend and old wise tales, if the heartbeat is over 140 it is a girl, and under 140 is a boy. Not sure how much truth there is to that, Hannah's was higher than 140 though when I was pregnant with her. It has been so long since I was pregnant with Elijah that I really don't remember what his rates were.
The appointment went well, no insulin so far which is great. My levels have been controlled with diet. My next appointment is Oct 8th, and at my next appointment we will schedule my 20 week ultrasound. I am really excited for that, can't wait to see my little one in 4D. The baby has been moving a good bit, Bill even got to feel it the other night, it was really neat.
Over the weekend I found the perfect sleeper at a yard sale for the baby, it is yellow and has the words "Sweet Pea" embroidered on the one side of the chest, it is so cute. I had to get it. It was only $.50 which was a great selling point too. LOL :)
I gained one pound since my last appointment putting my weight gain at 3 lbs so far, which is great according to my doctor.
