We were back to see Dr. Lett for our monthly checkup and all is going swimmingly! I have not put on any weight since my last checkup (which she was happy with, given I had just come back from buffet heaven last time she weighed me). My blood pressure continues to make Jeff jealous. When it came time to listen for the heartbeat she had a bit of trouble finding it at first. I just laid there frozen until that wonderful whoomp, whoomp started ringing out. Such relief again! Baby's heartbeat was 162 bpm. Still the best sound I've ever heard in my life. As it turns out, she was having trouble finding the heartbeat because I am carrying low. But the doctor says I am just a perfect size for how far along I am.
We are headed to Phoenix, AZ on Tuesday and I don't know if I have ever needed a vacation more in my life. I am really looking forward to shopping for maternity wear with Debbie and enjoying the sun with Ward!
Thanks to everyone who's been saying that I look good and have a pregnancy glow - it makes me feel so much better and not just like a blotchy blimp!
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! Here is this week's bump picture...

You are going to be one of those 9 months pregnant babes who only looks pregnant from the front, like you're smuggling a basket ball. Also, I'm putting my vote in ... you're having a boy ;-)
