The Beginning of the Fifth Months

Yes, that's right, I'll be seventeen weeks tomorrow. That means I'm in my 5th month, and almost halfway through the pregnancy. :) So far so good too, my blood pressure is normal, my weight is going up at just the right amount, and the baby's heartbeat seems perfect. :)

Actually, when the Doctor went to find the baby's heartbeat today all we could hear was a lot of movement. She was really impressed at how mobile the little guy was, but I think a little bummed too that she couldn't hear the heartbeat for much longer than a few seconds (and it was pretty faint at that). But anyway, it seemed to be somewhere between 130 and 140, which is awesome. :) Matthew says it means our baby will be an athlete, "he's already swimming!". It was really cool though to hear it moving, although it mostly just sounded like loud static. Its just nice to hear something from him/her, anything at all.

The ultrasound is exactly one month from today and boy am I excited. The Doctor said that the ultrasound tech won't even take a picture of the baby's "privates" if we don't want to find out the sex. It wont be in the file at all, so no one can accidentally slip up and tell us. That makes me feel a lot better, since I've heard a few horror stories about that...

Other than that... I still don't really have any cravings. I just like things really tart or sour, sweets just haven't been settling well with me the past few days (sad, because I do really have a huge sweet tooth). I guess I'll just keep you posted...
