I had a 4 week check-up on Tuesday with my OB doctor. I saw the nurse midwife, Michelle. She said that I am doing very well and am looking great! She is happy with my weight gain - about 8-10 pounds, depending on the scale. She measured my belly for the first time - I guess I'm "measurable" now! My blood pressure is still good and low. My labs I had drawn a couple of weeks ago that tested for abnormalities, such as spina bifida and Down's Syndrome, came back negative. She had nothing encouraging to say about my hip pain at night, only that it is normal and will probably get worse (oh swell). We listened to Baby's heart beat, which sounded wonderful to this anxious mom's ears. Heart rate was in the 140's. Some say boys run in 140's and girls are usually 150's-160's. The midwife said she'd put her money on a boy.
We'll see........................!

It's not an exact science, but Jack was in the 140's the whole time while MacKenzie and Delaney were in the 160's. When I asked my doctor his opinion of the heart beat theory, he said "When the heart beat is in the 140's, it means your going to have a baby". Thanks for the help, doc!! Miss you guys tons and can't wait for the move. Kasey
Rowan, is that you in there? Or are you tricking us, Anna?
All right Rowan. The girls need a little boy to kiss and hug on!
Happy Sunday!
