Good morning! Today is a Friday and I am not at work! This morning we went to the doctor for our monthly appointment and everything looked great. I was hoping for an ultrasound so I can see how much Squiggy has grown since according to babycenter.com he/she is the size of a kumquat, and really I have no idea how big a kumquat is. I am thinking maybe about the size of a walnut in it's shell. In any case the nurse used a very high tech stethescope type thing and hunted around for about 10 hours to find the heartbeat. Just kidding it was probably one minute, but it sure felt like 10 hours! Then Bert and I heard it, and it was music to our ears. It was close to 180 BPM this time, so if you believe the old wives tale, on our last appointment, we were having a boy, and now it has switched over to a girl. I asked the doctor about the heart rate determining the gender and he said it was not true at all. Bert seems to want a boy, but all I want is a healthy baby. There are great things about boys and girls, so either is fine with me! Speaking of gender, we found out that Heather and Nate are having a little girl, which is really exciting. I can't wait to start planning her shower with Karen!
So I have determined I am the luckiest preganant person ever. I really have no morning sickness (except for one time), nausea, aversions to food, etc. The only symptom that I really have is occasional heartburn, which while it's no picnic, it's totally bearable. Also I have been fighting a nasty cold all week, and since I didn't want to take any medication, it was pretty bad!

I have heard some great news from my mom, she offered to buy the crib and maybe the dresser too. I can't wait to start thinking about the nursery but I am going to try to put it on the backburner until we find out what we are having. We also got a cute onsie from baby Sylvie, and I can't wait to dress Squiggy up in it one day!
So this weekend is Valentines day weekend, and Bert sent me an edible arrangement to work yesterday, it was so yummy and beautiful. Today we are going to go down to the farmers market and spend time together and tomorrow we are going to Seasons 52 for dinner. I think we may also buy a new camera this weekend since mine is not working too well anymore and we will need a nice camera for good pictures of Squiggy and also for my blog! I am so ready for this weekend to spend time with Bert and relax!
