Life as a Wife

I had another OB appointment on Friday.  We didn’t get to see the baby but we did hear the heartbeat, which is always very cool.  I remembered to ask about the heart rate this time and the doctor said the baby’s heart rate is 155bpm.  According to a certain old wives tale, it sounds like we have a little boy!  (I’m still hoping for a girl, but I’m glad to have a baby.)  I left the appointment with the surreal feeling again of being pregnant.  It’s just so great knowing there’s this little person growing inside of me.  Kind of freaky, too.  And uncomfortable.  Pregnancy has not been very fun so far.  But I’m 13 weeks and 2 days and very much looking forward to seeing what the second trimester brings along.
