Crazy Fast

Jonathan and I are so excited that we got to hear our precious baby's heartbeat for the first time today!! I can't believe how fast it is - 160 BPM's...crazy! Lot's of people have told us how fast their heartbeats are, but it's still so surprising when you hear your own baby's heart beating super fast. I am almost 14 weeks, so I know it's a little late to hear it for the first time, but our last appt. was at 9 weeks and they said that was too early to hear it then. Lovely Kaiser wanted us to wait until I was 16 weeks to hear it, and we said NO WAY.  I guess being an annoying stalker about getting in for another appt. really does pay off in the end. Yea for us:) 

I am starting a poll to see if our family and friends think we are having a girl (my preference) or a boy (Jonathan's preference). So vote on the poll to the right and let us know what you think:)

P.S. In reality, we both will be SO happy no matter what the sex is!!

Girl! I have lots of clothes for you . . .

I'm guessing a girl! Girls have faster hearbeats than boys, supposedly, and yours was pretty high. It's an old wives tale but it proved true for me. So excited for you! :)

Just so you know, one of those four votes (as of now there are only four) for the handsome boy was mine. No offense Jillian, but I have a lot of friends who have been having girls and I think it is about time for my friends to have some boys.

I think you already know that I have selfish motives... Im hoping you have a boy! I need help getting excited about all the boy stuff and i'm sure Jakey would love having a little friend!

I guess a girl...or a super active boy, kinda like what I got (both my babies had/have fast heartbeats.

They say if the heartbeat is fast and 160 bpm is, that it's a girl...don't get your hopes up though!
