Week 22

Hello from brrr chill New England! I swear it is going to snow sometime soon.

I had a drs appointment that went really well today. Mind you she was an hour late because while we were waiting she had to run and deliver a baby. That's OK. I am sure I would want her to make everyone wait so she could deliver my baby!

Speaking of delivering my baby, we have a date! My mum is so excited. Our delivery date is tentatively set for March 23, 2009. I will find out for sure on Monday, but if not March 23 then March 26. I am hoping for the 23rd. Then all my kids would have their birthday on the 23!

The heartbeat was strong. In the 150's. To quote the doctor "it sounds like a girl!" She also said that if, after two ultrasounds, they can't see male genitalia then it probably isn't there! That said I am still waiting until another ultrasound confirms it or I see it for myself.

More good news - DQ will get to cut the cord! When the boys were born hospital policy wouldn't allow him to cut the cord since they were c-section. Not the case this time. I am so happy for him.

I think that's all for this week. Oh yea - My weight hasn't changed much. According to my scales I think I gained .4 lb. According to the doctors office I gained a pound. The doctor was A-OK with that. She said as long the baby is growing it doesn't matter. Although she did say that, if by my last trimester I haven't gained much weight then I will have another ultrasound. Just to be on the check things out.

Have a great week! I am done with work tomorrow and am looking forward to having a few days off. And HOPEFULLY starting to work out again!

til then -
