Old Wive's Tales

Today I had my doctor's appointment.  BP's heart rate is 140.  People try and guess whether it is a boy or a girl based on the heart rate (old wives's tale).  If the heart rate is high, then it is a girl and if it is low, it is a boy.  The range is 120-160.  BP's heart rate falls exactly in the middle of the range, so I guess he/she doesn't want us to know, or guess, anymore :-)

The appointment went well.  I am measuring 1.5 weeks ahead and while we were listening to the heart beat BP kicked the doppler.  I am up 17 lbs total, which is right on track with where I was last time.  I am feeling okay besides the exhaustion.  I am trying really hard to keep active to keep the swelling down and weight on track.  I am trying to really watch what I eat for the same reasons, but ice cream, peanut butter, waffles, and cheeseburgers may be my biggest downfall :-)
