Wednesday I went in for my 2nd OB appointment. This time we got to hear the heart beat on the Doppler. Little Bean must have grown a lot in the last month because as soon as she put the little wand on my belly we could hear it and last time she couldn't find it at all. My husband was able to record it on his i-touch so that was pretty cool. I can't believe there's a little person in there!
My doctor said my next ultrasound will be at 20 weeks so that should be the week of September 27. I'm excited to find out the gender and pick out a name. We're pretty satisfied with the two girl name options we have, but we're still looking for a boy's name we really love. We were watching the History Channel the other day and they were talking about Persian emperors that had cool names like Cyrus and Darius. Darius Rucker is pretty cool so maybe we could go with that one.
I weigh about 5 more pounds than I did pre-pregnancy. I could probably do without having a slice of cake every night, but it does have zucchini in it so it's healthy, right? My thighs are sure getting chubby, but that's pretty normal for me, that's where I always gain weight first. My belly is getting bigger too so I have some justification. Now I just have to pick out a dress to wear to my cousin's wedding next week.
I can't believe my birthday is on Monday! This summer has thankfully gone by fast. I generally love summer, but not this year. It's been so hot out this year and the thought of going out in the hot weather makes me sick (literally). I'm starting to re-think the whole moving to Texas/Florida idea. I had a dream yesterday about Antarctica and it was so nice. Maybe I could live somewhere cold, at least during the summer. I'm so excited for the fall!
