We had another standard prenatal doctor appointment today. I'm now seeing the doctor once every 2 weeks until the end of December at which point I will start going once a week. The big day is getting closer and closer!
So, during this appointment the doctor measured my stomach and said I'm measuring at about 32 weeks but that it makes sense that I would measure a little bit ahead of where I'm actually at in the pregnancy because I had "a little extra there before I got pregnant". That was her nice way of saying I was overweight before hand. Anyway, then we listened to the heart beat and she said, "I don't know, sounds like a boy heart beat." I said, "It better not be, we're all set up for a girl." She laughed and said though sonograms aren't 100% accurate, they are more accurate then the old wives tales like a lower heart rate being a boy and a higher heart rate being a girl or girls laying higher in the stomach and boys lower, etc... But she got me thinking, oh my god, what if it is a boy. I guess he's gonna have to wear a lot of pink around the house and the other colors will have to be reserved for going out in public. lol. Either way, we'll be happy, but it will be weird if it turned out to be a boy, after expecting a girl for so long. Someone said, oh well, you could just change the name to Alex. I don't know. We'll see. Hopefully we won't have to worry about that.
Other than that, the appointment went fine.
