Yesterday I had my 4 month appointment. David had the day off and was able to go to my appointment with me. The doctor had a difficult time finding the heartbeat (again), but eventually we heard it, and for a long time! The heartbeat was in the 140's this time. Much different than 185bpm at 9 weeks. I think I'm brewing up a pretty stubborn baby. -I know this may come as a shock to any of you that know David and me.- The doctor finally found a heartbeat right where she started listening with the doppler at the beginning. Apparently, little Baby Parsons didn't want his or her heartbeat to be heard without some mental convincing from Mommy.
In just 6 weeks we will know if we are having a boy or a girl! Whenever I hear the baby's heartbeat, or see it in an ultrasound, I have a feeling that it's a boy. All other times I feel as though it's a girl. I find myself thinking thoughts like, "after she's born," and "when I go back to work and Stace babysits her." I guess we will just have to wait and see. After my appointment yesterday I started to get scared that it might be a boy. I'm not sure if I can handle a mini-David. What am I going to do when I send him to time-out and he laughs at me while he walks there, or says, "Is that it?" I suppose girls can do that, too, but I just got mental pictures of little David. I guess it's too late now! Either way, I know I will needs his help.
The next blog will hopefully be the big reveal that most of you have been waiting for! Blue or pink? Hopefully, this little baby will cooperate during the ultrasound, since it's probably the only one I will have until the baby's born! I'm hoping it will be a 3D ultrasound! I will post picture and/or video. Whatever they give me will be on here!! Time to start taking bets!! Fingers crossed for a.......healthy baby! =)
