15-week Doctor Visit
We just returned from our latest trip to the doctor. Everything is progressing normally and Laurie is feeling well. She has gained four pounds since we learned that we were pregnant. Her blood pressure was good. The Big U was ideal (inside joke). The baby's very strong pulse rate was 153 beats per minute. I got a warm fuzzy because this is about my heart rate during moderately strenuous runs. Apparently, this is a normal heart rate for the baby at this point. I guess babies do cardio training during this part of the pregnancy. Who knew.
We also scheduled an ultrasound for 8:30 am on Friday, August 25th. So, in less than one month we should know if it is a MacGregor or a Rawlings.
A couple of "old wives tales" updates:
1. We tied a hair from Laurie's head around her wedding band. Then, we dangled it over her belly. It went in a circular path almost immediately which means...(drum roll)...GIRL.
2. The heart rate at the doctor's visit was over 140, so that means...GIRL.
Two for two for a little lady. More old wives tale experiments forthcoming. We'll keep you posted.
That's all for now. Time to celebrate with a post-doctor visit pizza.

Nana B predits a girl. And according to her she is never wrong.
Another example of an old wife tale.
YaYa is thinking it's a boy. No rhyme or reason, just a feeling.
