Our "Boy" Turned Into a "Girl"

I had a super quick appointment with Dr. Norwood today to hear the baby's heartbeat again. (Click here for the last heartbeat post. It was 130 last time.) I say "super quick" because there was nothing to do but have a quick check on Baby G's ticker and then they sent me on my way! I was in the exam room for all of four minutes.

Dr. Norwood found the heartbeat RIGHT away and counted 160 beats per minute. He (jokingly) said, "Sounds like a baby girl to me!" to which I replied, "Oh that's funny, it was a baby boy last time!" The old wives' tale is that if it's over 150 bpm it's a girl, under that it's a boy. So Dr. Norwood joked back, "Uh oh, guess the penis fell off!" Haha!

And the Beat Goes On

We got to hear Baby G's heartbeat at our appointment today. Just so cool. Dr. Norwood said it was beating at 130 beats per minute. He said at this stage anywhere from 120 - 180 is normal. Guess despite how active s/he was at the last ultrasound, s/he's pretty cool, calm and collected when it comes to matters of the heart!

Click below to play the recording Brad took. That's Brad's voice right at the end. By the way, Brad says, "HE's pretty active..." Wondering if that slip of the tongue means somebody wants Baby G to be a boy?! (We won't find out the gender until early March.)
