This was by far the best part of my week! I had such a crappy week at work and there was no better way to end it than to see our little turd measuring right on track with a heart beat of 146 beats per minute. I was so nervous today and I could hardly sleep last night knowing that today was the day. It was such a bittersweet moment. It brought back a lot of memories of having the first ultrasound and not being able to detect a heartbeat. I was dreading going to the appointment in fear that it would happen again but thankfully everything turned out perfect. Gosh, I'm super happy today.
here's a little info I found online. We'll see if it's true or not!
Fetal heart rates were recorded with a doppler fetoscope for 1 min. The theory is that if the fetal heart rate is 140 beats/min or greater, the fetus is female, and if the fetal heart rate is 139 beats/min or lower, the fetus is male.
According to this myth, we would be having a girl...yay! I totally want a girl but Craig is positive that it's a boy. I'm always right (just ask him) so I bet we'll have a girl. After all, the Chinese Calendar says so, too!! (ok, so I'm really bored at work and have time to look up pointless stuff like this)

Hey Bethany, That is so exciting. I am so glad to hear everything looks great. It's so fun to hear the heartbeat for the first time, was Craig able to be there too? Well take care!

If you are having a girl, you better never let her see this. She will never forgive you for calling her a turd before she even deserved to be called it. Congrats you guys!
