Another Heartbeat Check

Today Jeff was there for the heartbeat; he has missed the last couple for various reasons, not owing to his disinterest. As he said, it sounds like "someone is running up and down the hallway." So, apparently Lucas is chasing mice in my tummy. It was beating at around 145 beats/minute today, and everything sounded great.

The next appointment was supposed to be for four weeks out, but when the receptionist realized how close that was to when I was due for my next ultrasound, she scheduled them both for the same time - October 3. On that date, we can find out what we're having if we want. That depends on the date you ask me. However - is this fate? - the new Kohl's right next to us (within walking distance) opens on October 3. Baby clothes will be right there for the taking..... Hard decision, hard decision.

I continue to feel fine - starting to get some energy, but that, too, depends on the day. The doc officially declared me "in my second trimester" - but, according to my pregnancy day-by-day book, I'm not until next week. I'll go with the doc's prognosis, though. I'm at 13 weeks this week!

Just got back from a 4-mile walk on the Monon. Maybe by posting my activity here, I'll keep motivated to stay active :) Knowing that someone might be reading this, I'll feel accountable!

Have a good one,

I'm reading, Ang! I came back today to see if you'd added anything recent. Its ok that you hadn't, cause I loved reading "Another Heartbeat Check" again. I'm not tied to my computer either, except when the girls are sleeping... I do a lot of recipe searching and such while sitting out on our deck. Hmmm, maybe I should start a blog???!!!
