Could Baby B be a he?

4 months tomorrow. Already this pregnancy seems like it's flying by.
At my doctor's appointment this morning Dr. Wright easily found Baby B's heartbeat. She also told me that little B was very active. She said that's a good sign of a healthy baby :)
Heartbeat was 141 and when the doctor asked "so, do you want my guess?" of course I said yes! She guessed a boy based on the heart rate. Obviously, she said it's just a guess, but it's still fun to actually imagine a little baby boy or girl. Crazy.
Brent and I will still not be finding out the sex but it's fun to speculate!
Anatomy ultrasound is in 3 weeks tomorrow, I can't wait to have a look at our little baby!!
My belly gets bigger by the day and it's not something I'm easily getting used to. It's weird when other people can tell that you're pregnant.
I've also had awful headaches for the last two weeks - thank goodness for benefits that cover massage!
B went to his/her first party last night. My brother David and his fiance's, Johanna, engagement party. Needless to say I was one tired momma by the end of the night.
Off to bed... I'm sure I'll wake up with a belly that's just a little bit more round ;)

Snoogle

Brent bought me a surprise last night: the Snoogle! I've wanted a pregnancy pillow but couldn't bring myself to buy one. Big husband points for Brent! I love it! It's sooo comfy!
This headache I've had since last Friday, not so awesome :( Apparently it's normal but I was not anticipating this much pain - ouch!
My belly (and everything else it would seem) continues to grow. It's slowly feeling more real... I'm dying to feel little B move.... Hopefully soon!
Bedtime for this tired momma

Holy hormones Batman!

Just finished bawling my eyes out. No nothing is wrong, just a wee bit hormonal. I watch a few minutes of t.v. and end up a blubbering mess. This isn't the first time this has happened lately. At this point Brent doesn't even flinch. He just knows I'll get over it in a few minutes and that there's really  nothing else going on. Geez! Thankfully my 'incidents' have all happened in the comfort of my living room. So far.
On an exciting note: the news is OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The world knows about baby B! It feels so good for the news to be out.
Perfect timing because I seemed to have "popped". I'm looking less fat and more like there might be a human growing in there.
I bit the bullet and bough maternity jeans today. WHERE HAVE THESE BEEN ALL OF MY LIFE? Okay, well I guess I haven't been pregnant before so no need but these are the most comfortable jeans EVER!!! I'm in love. I may actually never go back to regular jeans. Okay, that's a lie but for now I will enjoy my time in my new fat pants! Woohoo. It may be too early, but I'm down with comfort.
Anyways.... off to throw my new jeans in the dryer ;)

Best noise EVER!

I was able to borrow a doppler and have since gotten to hear the best noise I have ever heard: baby B's heartbeat!
It was a solid 156 tonight and was so loud, strong and fast! I got it on the Doppler long enough to call Brent upstairs to have a listen! I'm going to bed a smiley momma tonight :)
I also told my team at work today. I had planned to wait a little longer but I couldn't resist! Everyone was very excited for us.
Tomorrow marks a special day - the big three month mark! One third of the way through - wow it's going by fast when you think like that.
I'm going to bed a very happy girl tonight! :)
