My husband and I are excitedly waiting to find out if my first baby is a boy or girl. I'm not very patient though...My doctor isn't ordering another ultrasound until Mid March.

We were able to hear the baby's heart beat at today's (3/5/08) appointment!!! So exciting! I can't wait to find out if it is a boy or a girl. My next ultrasound is scheduled for the 24th.

7/17/08 - Ok so it's been awhile since I'm written, since my last entry...we found out we are having a girl!!! We are naming her Hannah Elizabeth. My last doctor's appointment was yesterday. The doctor said (by feeling my tummy) she thinks the baby weighs between six and six and a half pounds already!!! I'm not dialated yet, but my cervix is softening with is a good thing!! I can't wait to meet me little one!!! I'm getting tired off all the aches and pains but I know it's totally worth it!
