Baby Doyle's Heartbeat is Racing!

WoW!  It's real... I really do have a baby inside me!  This morning Pat and I had a chance to hear the baby's heartbeat.  It was right on track about 160 beats per minute.  We got a little nervous because it took a while to find the heartbeat but finally she found it.  I heard that the slower the heartbeat, the more likely that it's a boy but my midwife said that was not true just one of those wives tales.  Well if it is true, we would be having a boy because the heartbeat ranges from 150-180.  As the baby grows the heart will grow stronger and the heartbeat will slow down.  Other than that, she gave me some advice on managing my constipation and the regular pap.  I officially gained 3 pounds and I am at week 12.   

All in all a pretty good day.  We go back in 4 weeks just for a check up and then in two weeks for the UltraSound!  That will be fun because we will find out the sex and if it is just one!
