Went to the Dr on the 19th for our week 18 visit! Can you believe how fast this is going? We got to take Sophia along with us so that she could hear the heart beat. She was so funny, out in the waiting room she was talking to the baby in my belly saying, "baby I get to hear your heart beat today"! Then as they were taking my blood pressure and weight she announced, "I know how they tell if it is a boy or a girl, by their front privacy's!" the nurse thought that was pretty funny. She was so good as we were waiting for the Dr. and as soon as the Dr. came in she was ready. it took a while to find the beat (I was hoping to get another ultra sound) but when she could hear it she started bobbing her head to the beat. She actually does a really great impression of it if you see her ask her to hear it.
I only gained 4 pounds this month, so two pounds for where I started. I am allowed 15 and am not nervous about it at all. This month so far however I feel like I cannot get enough! So I am trying to eat little bits through out the day hoping that will make it better. Still no major cravings, although it is funny how much I want a Margareta (and have never been a big drinker)LOL. I have been getting high temps more this month so I worry about that the Dr did not seemed to worried . She does not want to put me on anything unless my throat starts to hurt.
Joel is getting more and More excited now, every now and then he will talk to my belly, but not very often I think he feels silly. I have started every night singing the lullaby that I plan on singing to the baby. I want to see if it will really make a difference.
