Heartbeat!

Yesterday Dave and I had a doctors appointment at 4:00PM. We actually didn't see the midwife until about 4:45, they were very busy. It didn't take but a few seconds and there it was, this super fast little heartbeat. In the background you could hear my heartbeat, much like the back base in music. Much slower then the baby's heartbeat, coming in at 160! So exciting and very real!! When I texted my best friend Erin, she wrote back "Holy Shit you're having a baby....on purpose". :) I don't think anyone has completely wrapped their head around all of this.

After the doctor Dave and I went and grabbed a drink at Red's on shemcreek and then met up with my parents and my sister for dinner at Mustard Seed for Dave's birthday.

I have lost a little weight so my maturity pants don't quite fit, but none of my normal clothes fit either. Which is why I look nice today. The only thing that fit was a skirt I have so i went with it.

Not to much other stuff going on right now. I was really tired last night and the night before. I think the baby is growing, and it's tiring me out.

This weekend is the Race for the Cure for Daniel Island. I'm walking with my friend Prisha in memory of her mother. I'm looking forward to it! It's gona be 65, nice a cool for our walk!

Hey so they make the best pair of black pants at motherhood maternity. They are about $30 and I wore them all through my pregnancy. They look like a pair of dressy yoga pants (no pockets) but the size M fit though my pregnancy without being gapy or too big or too small.

I know exactly which pants you are talking about.... I lived in those too. I had 2 black pair, grey and brown! They are a must have Melyssa. 160 is pretty slow for where you're at.. I say you're having a boy. I remember the awkward stage all too well that you are at now. I lost weight my first trimester too and had the same problem. Don't worry, you'll start gaining and outgrowing things left and right before you know it. I love reading your blog, keep the posts coming.
