15 Week Appointment

We had our 15 week appointment on October 20 and everything looked great! We did not have an ultrasound, but we did get to hear the baby's heartbeat- it was 158 bpm. This time my sweet husband was able to hear it in person (at my 11 week appointment, I called him and let him hear the heartbeat over the phone).

We are still in negotiations regarding the gender. We talked to the doctor about it, and they marked SURPRISE on our charts. So, they won't tell us unless we ask at our next appointment.

We are scheduled to have our big ultrasound on November 10th. At this point, we could find out if we decided not to let it be a surprise. We still haven't really made a decision yet. I'm just looking forward to being able to see how much our baby has grown!

Negotiations

Negotiations on whether or not to find out the gender of our baby have been going on since we found out we were expecting.

I want to let it be a surprise. I feel that in life there are very few truly great surprises- and this is one of them. Now, I know it would be easier to plan and decorate if we knew, but I honestly would enjoy the surprise so much more!

My husband says we have no idea how much our lives are going to change, and he doesn't want anymore surprises than there has to be. He wants to be as prepared as possible. He promises that we will keep our next baby a surprise.

So, we're negotiating.

As of today, we are 12 weeks & 2 days along! There's just barely a little bump there!
