They said the baby is doing great!!! The heart rate was 140. When i was 6 wks preg. it was 180 so it changed A LOT! The dr. said that is completly normal and that our baby is fine Smile. We go back on July 15th to find out the sex. ( I still think its a boy...just a feeling). Im soooooo anxious i cant wait! Very
Happy

Yay! must have been great to hear the heartbeat and your so lucky you get to find out july 15th! It's odd how the heartbeat changes, mine went from 122 at 6 weeks to 169 at just about 13 weeks.

omg i know!!! I was sooo worried when she said that it was only 140 and then when she was telling me it was normal and ok i started to calm down. I wonder what causes that though?? I should have asked her that yesterday. Do you know what your having yet tanya???

I'm guessing the changes in size and development is what changes it but I never really thought about it. It seems to change periodically throughout the pregnancy.

Nope don't know what i'm having yet (my gut feeling is boy lol). I have my appt tomorrow to get scheduled for my next ultrasound at 18 weeks, but even if they can't tell me then it won't matter because I'm going to get the 3d ultrasound done at 20 weeks and they'll be able to tell me for sure.

I still feel so small though! Are you starting to show much yet? I mean I can feel my uterus and I guess it sticks out a bit but whenever i tell people i'm pregnant they're like are you sure? lol

yea ill find out at 18 wks also. Ive heard a lot of good things about the 3d u/s. We have been looking into it. I am starting to show now. I think its just b/c im so tiny lol. Are you really tall??? Ive heard taller ppl take longer to show. I lost a lot of weight though and when i gained it back it went straight to my belly and boobs!!! It feels like i do crunches though (which i dont) b/c my stomach is getting hard. I just got maternity clothes yesterday. I find that the maternity bottoms are A LOT more comfortable than regular bottoms. They have more room and fit sooo much more comfortable. I was using rubber bands and hair ties for my reg. bottoms. Is this your first preg.??

I found these awesome pair of capri's, kind of like stretchy material mixed with jogging pants? thats the best way i could think of to describe it. But they are sooo comfy. I still haven't made it to the maternity store to buy stuff there but i'm going to need to soon. I am however liking that boobs went up a cupsize already! I always wanted some! lol

yep this is my first pregnancy, and i'm about 5'7. I don't know if thats tall, a bit taller then average i guess.

Im only 5'0. I dont know what they consider tall.
