4 Weeks Until We Find Out!

I had a doctor's appointment today. Marleigh went with me. I am trying to take with me to every visit, (unless there is an exam), so that she feels apart of the whole process. We heard the heartbeat today for the first time. Oh, what an awesome sound that was-a reassurance, peace of mind, a blessing. The heart monitor registered 158 heartbeats per minute. If I can recall, Marleigh had anywhere from 160-168 a minute. He said he guesses that it's another girl. But he said he was "only guessing." We would like to have a boy, but if a healthy girl it is-that will be fine, too.

We go November 18th at 2:30 to find out what sex the baby is. I will be counting down the days. It is so exciting. If it wasn't so convinent to find out the sex for preparation purposes, I would like to wait to find out. Life needs more exciting surprises. But I don't think I could hold out, though.

Well, all is well here. We had fall break last week. It was great times-sleeping in, visiting cousins, and did I mention sleeping in. I didn't get half of what I wanted to get done, but oh well. House work will not grow legs and walk away-I wish it would.:-)

Hope everyone has a great week! Until next time - Live, Laugh, Love

I am leaving you a message!!!! I am like Rhea Anne, I think a girl would be nice so Hallie will have a girl close in age to play with.

Have a great week!

Hey Sweetie
I am sorry that I have not taken the time to leave you a message sooner. I guess life is just busy for everyone.
I pray that you will have a healthy baby. That's the only thing that matters.
love you all,
cathy
ps The nurses thought Joe Dan was a girl because he had a fast heartbeat too. ha ha

Hey girl! I'm glad your appt. went well! That is the best sound ever. Dr. Hart also thought Brady was gonna be a girl because of his heart rate. Finally when I was 7 or 8 months Dr. Hart said, "Now he's starting to sound more like a boy!" So, you never know! :-) Either one will be great!
