Dr's Appointment Update

Hey everyone!
We had our next doctor's appointment today and everything looks great! All they really did was check the heart rate (which felt like forever to me for them to find!) and answered any questions I had. The heart rate is 160 which is normal. The doctor said that all babies heart rates are about 160 in the first trimester. It isn't until the 2nd trimester that we can use it to guess if it is a boy or girl. So we should be able to start making guesses in 4 weeks!
The other good news is that we get to keep on the same schedule that we are on right now, so that means we should find out if it is a boy or girl in week 19. That puts it the week before Christmas! What a fun Christmas present!
We go next week for the genetics testing and we get to have another ultra sound. Watch for a new picture in about a week!
Everything else is going well. I can't believe we are already a week away from being done with the first trimester! Time is going so fast!
