I heard the heart beat today. *loves!* According to Dr. Fredeen, the average speed was 155 beats per minute and he even said that he could hear the baby moving around. Also, according to this website, I'm having a girl based on the heart rate! LOL! Anyone want to change their guesses for the baby pool? ;) I'm getting my 18 week ultrasound done on November 30 (which would actually put me at nearly 20 weeks. /lame) but we've requested gender identification. Actually, having it done a little later might mean that it'll be easier to tell - unless the kid squirms a lot, lol.
I nearly had to do another round of blood testing, since the lab didn't send the clinic my results. I would have been really upset if I had to go back, considering how much it hurt last time. Luckily, the receptionist was able to find it all. The results of the blood work were that everything was normal; I'm HIV negative (no real doubt, but it's always nice to know for sure!) and I'm producing tons of rubella antigens, which is good since I was vaccinated against them when I was younger.
(Oh, and PS - I asked the Dr how fast the heart rate is, but it was very faint in the video, so that's what the 155 is when he answers).
All around, excellent day, except for the horrible bout of morning sickness this morning. :(
You are getting the ultrasound done on November 30th. Which is my birthday Lol. SO if it's a girl, I vote you name it Brandy :D. SO you can put me down in the pool for a girl!
