    Default Baby check-up

    I had my 16 week check up last night and got to hear the heart beat on the dopplar. Thanks to Rhia I got the at-home heart beat monitor and have been listening for a while, now...but it's been really faint. Hearing it with the Doctors super duper mic was awesome.

    Ok, so the heartbeat is coming in at 153. Doc said that by the time baby is full-term, the bpm will most likely drop to the high 130's or low 140's. He also said that most baby BOYS have slower HB than baby girls (Makayla was 162 at 16 weeks and 146 at full term). So, I really, truly think I'm having a boy.

    I'm happy, but damn...all those little girl clothes have to be given away. LOL

    Seraya, if you have a girl, I'll send you my stash of baby clothes (a lot of which was never worn, heh).

    So, I guess the theme now would be "think blue".

    Woot! Glad you had a good appointment, VG! I hope you have a boy now too. It'll be one more for the club. Haha. Now you have to start picking boy names--or did you have one picked out already? I forget.

    This baby's heartbeat was in the high 150s until a few months ago when we found out it was a Boy. He's been holding steady in the high 130s-low 140s now. So, hopefully it'll be true for you too. Heh

    We may go with Adrian Christopher. That is the only name we could come up with so far (and agree on, heh). But, we'll see.

    don't get too set on a boy! That's an old wives tale. Both of my boys had high hb's...my oldest was in the 160's. My daughter's was actually in the 130-140 range...

    when are you gonna find out the sex? or is it gonna be a suprise!?

    Well, I already *think* it's a boy. It just FEELS like a boy. Besides, when I was preggers with Makayla, I couldn't think of a boy's name to save my life. This time, I can't come up with any girl's names. It's just a feeling that I have that it's a boy, but having the doc say lower HB's are usually boys (but not always) just kind of cemented the feeling.

    I'm tempted to find out...but I think that I will do what I did with Makayla. Just wait, and in the meantime buy all neutral clothes.

    You gotta find out! LOL.. I already told ya, before I found out we were having a boy, I made a bunch of girly colored blankets, hats, and outfits (crochet), and now I have no one to hand them off to!

    I'm kidding, I can always just hang on to them for if you do have a girl.. LOL

    If not, there's Seraya! Maybe she can break the boy chain if you don't.. Hehe

    Mostly everyone I know (including myself) is having boys. There is only one girl I know that's actually having a girl. Another is expecting fraternal twins, and so far they know one's a boy. They couldn't get a good view on the other twin, but she's hoping that one's a girl.
