Things are still good!
Just got home from the doctor's. I met a new Dr. today. She was very nice. The blood work came back good and the chances of Down Syndrome or Trisomy 13,18 & 21 are 1 in 5000, so she said we don't have to think about having the amnio done. Thank goodness. That big needle terrifies me and I don't think I could have gone through that. She also told me that my due date is 10/5 instead of 10/6 and that it most definitely won't change going forward. I only gained 2 lbs which makes me VERY happy. That's 4 total according to their scales and not counting the weight loss that I had in the beginning. I can't remember now but I think I lost between 4-6lbs in the beginning. We got to hear the heartbeat again. At first she couldn't find it and I was starting to get nervous but then finally there it was. She said about 150, that's lower than the first time but normal because as the baby grows the number should go down. She said it was hiding behind the pubic bone and being very stubborn. We joked about that since the last time I was there, the baby wasn't cooperating and jokingly she said it's probably a girl then. I laughed and said I would be fine with that and Brian glared at me. The most important thing to me is a happy healthy baby but if our first (oh my gosh did I just say that) was a girl then that would be ok with me. So let's see if this little bean wants to cooperate in two weeks when we hopefully will get to find out if it's a girl or a boy. May 8th is the big day!!!! I can't wait to see it on the screen moving around again. That was really neat to me.

Rachel and Brian,
I've been reading your updates and realized I hadn't told you congratulations yet. October will be here before we know it!!! Looking forward to hearing whether it's a girl or boy!!
