Yep, another doctor's appointment today and another day the baby decided to be shy. We went to see the other doctor in the practice this week (my doc is on vacation) and BOY DO I FEEL GYPPED!!! HE, the other doc in the practice, is the one with COOL 3D ultrasound and all the cool gadgets! We were wondering where this supposed 3D ultrasound they advertise was this whole time, apparently it's only in his office... sigh. We actually got to see the baby - well his or her hand - in 3D lol! Probably if he was actually my doctor we would have seen the whole baby in 3d... sigh... oh well. It's too late to change docs now, plus I feel more comfortable having the woman doctor anyway. but... Sigh...
Yes, even with all his gadgets, 3D doctor couldnt find the baby's sex. Can you believe it? He said that the baby is laying with his/her back toward the front of my stomach so the "bits" are all hidden. All I can do is laugh.
Everything is still good with baby. We got stuck on the heartbeat monitor. Nice strong Heartbeat sitting at 140bpm (quick!! what's the ol'wive's tale concerning HB and sex? LOL). Last appointment (2 weeks ago) I actually managed to gain a whole 2lbs for the first time... but this time, the scale says I lost it. LOL So still no weight gain for me - doc is not worried and is happy about it (me too). I'm just a little shocked considering the way I've been eating lately, Copper and I could be twins! LOL
Oh! speaking of eating like a pig: Copper the yarn eating maniac. He is doing ok, we are watching him. His attitude and appetite hasn't changed, trust me, he's still a hoover and after he cleans his bowl, looks at you like, "is that it?!" Dennis has been trying to call the vet for advice but their working hours are worse than a bankers!

Fast heartbeat is supposed to be girl, was true for me four times!
Poor copper. I am glad he is ok!
You still think your due date is right or will it be sooner? Good luck :)
So happy you and the baby are doing well. Glad to hear Copper is doing well!
140 BPM? That's what Brett's was! While I was pg with him, I read that <140, it was a boy, >140, a girl. So, every night Tim would get his stopwatch and put his head to my belly and count. Everytime...140. So we figured it could go either way.
I've tried to comment on your blog before and haven't been successful. We'll see if this posts, lol.
I have to agree with Carole. While working 5 years in L & D in Air Force--about 90% of the hr over 140 were girl and 140 and below were boy. So sitting at 140--who knows. I guess when you deliver--we will know then. Glad things are going so good for you.
