So I went to the doctor today and everything seems to look fine. I am going to be 18 weeks on thursday and they signed me up for an ultrasound on friday at noon so we can make sure the baby is doing good and I will most likely get to find out what im having! The babies heart rate is 140 and the doctor said that was good too. Im really excited im hoping for a boy because that's what tony really wants and I wouldn't mind a lil boy at all but a lil girl would be great too because I love all the cute lil outfits I can buy her. My three hour glucose test came back good but they said I have to get another one at 28 weeks they gave me this one early because I have insulin problems. They are going to put me in the gestational diabetes meet up group thing and send me to a dietitian because I have been having a lot of problems eating and I need to start gaining weight. Im so excited to find out what im having!! =0d

Glad everything went well! I went to the doctor today too and she said everything is perfect. I love to hear that! Don't you love hearing the heartbeat? I could listen to it all day. My little guy's was 160 today at 22 weeks so I say that the higher heartrate=girl thing is crap. Are you excited about your ultrasound? I had mine at 18 weeks 1 day too and we found out the sex. I suggest drinking some orange juice before you go so the little bugger is active and not just sitting there with their legs clamped shut. Have fun on friday!
