What’s it gonna be?
Last week, GTB and I went to the doctor for our second prenatal check up. Three really good things happened:
1. We got to hear the Blueberry’s heartbeat. 140 bpm. Just perfect. We got to see the heart flutter on the ultrasound at week 8, but for some reason, actually hearing it was more moving.
2. I weighed in and found that I only gained 4 pounds total during my first trimester. Given my alternating states of panic about gestational diabetes and hunger that can only be satisfied by large cinnamon rolls, I was a bit worried this number would be quite a bit higher. I can live with 4 pounds. 4 pounds is nothing.
3. We scheduled our big ultrasound. The one where we not only get to see a fully formed human and find out if all is well in there, but we are 95% sure we’ll learn whether it’s a boy or a girl. April 8 is the big day. Just over a month from now. The countdown is on.
