18 weeks

Well today we went to the doctor. Everything went great! The babies heart rate was 158. They are going to do our ultrasound on Oct.29th at 2:00p.m. to let us know what sex the baby is. It's three days after my Birthday so Happy Birthday to me, best present I could have got! We are really excited! I read online and I have heard from a few friends to drink a little Mountain Dew and eat candy before the appointment so the babies moving around good. We will get pictures and a DVD of the ultrasound too. I know you can post videos on her but i'm not sure how to do it but I definitley will find out for all you living far! We will also have our 3-D ultrasound at 28 weeks so thats going to be pretty awesome too! The doctor told us today that by 20 weeks which is in 2 weeks my uterus should be 1 cm above my belly button. That's just amazing to me! We also got literature on cystic fibrosis testing and birth defect screenings. John and I have decided that these tests just aren't for us. I think that's all I really have to update on the baby. Besides my belly getting huge I have no complaints!
We are staying very busy with work. We are finding time with friends and family every weekend and it's been great!
