Today I heard the baby's heartbeat. This was my second doctor's appointment with Dr. H AKA Dr. Pervy (for doing a pap test on my first visit) and it lasted all of 3 minutes. I hopped up on the table, he put the dopplar thing on my stomach and said, "that whoosh, whoosh? That's the hearbeat". Owen wasn't with me so I didn't cry but I did have a good nervous laugh because that hearbeat is attached to the baby that I am going to have to give birth too and raise and oh my god what the hell have we gotten ourselves into?!?!?!.
I also found out that I had gained 2 pounds since my last visit which is, according to the nurse, "good". My next appointment with Dr. Pervy is October 30 and I'm set for an anatomical ultrasound on October 17. According to Dr. Pervy, if we wanted to know the sex, this was the ultrasound to ask for it. Officially we don't want to know the sex but unofficially it wouldn't take much to change my mind about that. I know Owen's not going to cave and is quite willing to go through the next 24 weeks not knowing what we're having. As time goes on, I'm getting more and more curious so we'll see how things go on October 17. Maybe Papa Connell will have a momentary lapse of reason and want to know the sex.
Yeah, right.
What I'm Listening To: Nothing. I'm waiting for Owen to call from work so I can do my "whoosh, whoosh" impression

Hi Jennifer
Are you sure you're not having twins???? Ha Ha I just saw the picture you posted. I'm enjoying reading your blog. It doesn't seem that long ago that I was feeling like you are but 25 and 22 years ago is a long time ago. Time passes so quick. I watched Aunt Paula's video of her and Roy's party and was so sad I wasn't there but that' it. Looks like I missed a good time. Hope you're still looking for tickets for your mom and dad. we were dissappointed to hear they may not come for Christmas. Love You! Aunt Lib
I'm going to start the betting......with its A girl!
#1 reason- because we reign in the Lane family.
#2 reason- I look at you and think-PINK!
#3 reason- I have a 50/50 chance of being right!
So it was just the one heart beat eh?
Love Joanne P
