Heartbeat

I had another pre-natal visit last Friday and we listened to the heartbeat again. The doctor said that it was in the 150's. I'm guessing that's normal. She didn't say it wasn't, so I guess it's good. My blood pressure is good, my weight gain is good, everything looks good so far.
My next appointment is set up for July 22 and that is going to be "the big ultrasound." They are going to measure the baby's arms, legs, head, tell us if it's a girl or a boy. We cannot wait for that appointment!
I've been feeling really good lately. I definately have my appetite back. I still feel like I need to take a nap in the middle of the day, which I do on the weekends!!
Something I wasn't sure would ever happen was Ben offered to take me shopping for new clothes after my appointment on Friday. I got to stock up on some nice cool things for summer!! What a great guy!

Update

I guess I haven't really written anything in awhile. To give you all a quick update I have been feeling GREAT! The morning sickness is finally gone!! I was starting to doubt that it would really go away. I still would rather sleep than do anything too productive, but in a few months I won't be getting too much sleep anymore anyways, so I may as well take advantage of every nap that I can get in.
My belly is still growing, but just a little bit at a time. I can actually feel it growing. It feels more like it's tightening up and squeezing, but my doctor said that it's growing when I feel that.
We don't get to do another ultra-sound for another couple weeks. At that appointment we are going to hopefully find out if we're having a girl or a boy. That appointment can't come fast enough for me!
