Week 16 Checkup

I just got back from the doctor's office, and have all good news. My blood pressure was good, and we finally got to hear the heartbeat! She said it was in the 140s, which leads me to believe we may be having the first boy out of our group of friends. Gracie's heartbeat was always in the 150-160 range and I've heard typically girls have a faster heartbeat. The doc is "ordering" an ultrasound from the hospital, and said I should call them tomorrow to make an appointment. My next doctor's exam will be on May 26th.

I checked Shirley Jean's blog to find a website her momma used to "predict" her gender, and "Babyman" agrees. He predicted we're having a boy. Hey, he was right for SJ, and Gracie.

On a side note, Daddy and Gracie are having BWW tonight, and I just got off the phone with Daddy. He was helping a friend finish moving today and told me a funny story I thought I'd share. He said he had Gracie sitting up in the stroller with Goldfish crackers in the tray, but he didn't strap her in. He was talking with our friend and the next thing he knew she was behind the stroller walking around! She apparently slipped herself out through the footrest and was off. She was probably looking at Daddy and thinking "Sucker!"
