Heartbeat....It's a horse!

Well little bump's heart was beatin' away this afternoon. Her little heart was a bit over 140 bpm...so, apparently it's a girl. Ha ha!!! Though I have read there was actually a study about this and there is no correlation between gender and fetal heart rate. But, females DID have a higher heart rate AFTER the onset of labor than males do. Interesting!

After asking many questions today, Jason and I elected not to have the protein blood work done. We are just praying for a healthy, happy baby, and going from there.

Our next appointment is the "big" one...with "THE" ultrasound. Where I am supposed to drink a ton of water beforehand and not to the bathroom. And we will not be finding out whether Bump is a girl or boy, though I call Bump a "her" and Jason calls Bump a "him." We will just have to be pleasantly surprised! :)

Love to you all,
ep and Bump
