I had another appointment today and it went great! The baby's heartbeat was 140 beats per minute and last time it was 160. It has me confused because the old wives tale is anything over 140 is a girl and under 140 is a boy, so I guess its not true since they contradict each other. Plus, they are called old wives tales because they aren't true, but its fun to read them! Dr. Brinkman said she could feel the baby and everything looks good. I also had bloodwork done for a quad screening (I think). Devin was unable to go to this appointment because he had a meeting at work that his boss said he couldn't miss, the stupid meeting got cancelled at 9 which was 10 minutes before my appointment grrrrr! I had been telling him that he didn't need to go to the appointments but I kinda missed having him there. Hearing the heartbeat just makes it sooooo real! Because Devin didn't get to go I offered to my mom that she could go and she jumped on the chance and she loved hearing it. So, Stacy its your turn to go to an appointment the next time Devin can't make one, assuming that you want to go.
On Monday, I had a moment of panic. I was getting ready for work and realized that all of my jeans were in the dryer so I grabbed them and they wouldn't button. I currently have one pair of maternity jeans and they were in the washer (the tags said to was before wearing to get rid of the extra dye). I had no clue on what to wear to work. I finally settled on a hair tie, looping it around the button hole and over the button and a bella belly band that mom had got me. This morning I decided I didn't like walking around yesterday with my pants undone (no one could tell though) so I put on the maternity pants and they felt too big. So I went back to my hair tie and bella belly band combo it works great! If you see me in the near future don't pay attention to my jeans, because chances are they are either too small or too big!
Our next appointment is on February 17th and Devin says he marked it out on his calendar already. I will be having my sonogram. I think I am probably going to have to cave and find out the sex so we should know then, if the baby decides to cooperate.
Time for American Idol! Thanks for checking in!

I would love to fill in for Devin when he can't go. Glad your Mom got to go inbetween her traveling. Worked out good. Isn't it amazing how resourceful you can be with the paaaaants?
Grandma Stacy
I think I may be pregnant too... my paaaants are fitting too tight. I may need to get me one of those belly band thingys.
Also... how does Stacy get to be next in line for Dr visit when Dev can't go? Sounds like a rock/paper/scissors kinda thing to me.
Okay, now that I've recovered from laughing hysterically at the paaaants joke and imagining my dad wearing maternity pants, I think I'm capable of posting :)
Of course I got to go to the first, most freaky appointment and it had nothing fun like a heartbeat! Instead I get to wait for you to get 8 viles of blood taken LOL. I'm just kidding - but a rock, paper, scissors tourney could be a good way to determine who gets to go! :)
