Baby's Heart Rate

Today I had an OB visit to follow up on my emergency room visit. She used the doppler and we were able to hear the heartbeat for the FIRST TIME!! I almost cried. I knew that it was going to be fast, but didn't expect it to be that fast. It was 165!!

Old Wives Tales say that if the heart rate is over 140, it's a girl. But we all know these are just old wives tales, right? ;)

I was just so happy to hear a strong and healthy heart rate. My blood pressure was fantastic. The doctor was pretty concerned because I had lost more weight, a total of 7 pounds so far. It doesn't seem like that much, but she said I should have gained 7 pounds by now. If I don't gain weight, the baby can't grow. I have been trying my best to eat healthy and good amounts, but I can't seem to keep anything down.

I think I am going to start drinking some protein shakes to get in some extra calories and protein for the baby. They have ones specifically for the baby, maybe I will start with some instant breakfast. But anyways, that's the update for now. :)

Oh, cravings this week, PANDA EXPRESS!! Yum. I wish I had some money to go get some right now. Kung Pao Chicken on Fried Rice with Mandarin Sauce on the rice. Simply put, it tastes like heaven. :)
