Baby Mac

8 week ultrasound

This week I began my 17th week of pregnancy. We heard the heartbeat last week and it was very fast (about 160 beats/minute) and the Doc said it sounded good. We find out the sex of the baby on April 7th. However, I don't think we'll spill the beans to everyone that soon. We really don't have a preference on this one. I think we would if this was our second one, but we really are just hoping for healthy. We are pretty sure we have the names picked out for either sex. Our boy's name is a family name and the girls is just one we heard one day. I'm not really showing yet, but I can tell my stomach is growing and my pants are starting to shrink. Maternity clothes seem too big and my normal pants are too small. Stuck in the middle for now! James talks to the baby everynight now since this week, our little baby's sense of hearing is developing. I have recently felt the baby kick and that was an exciting feeling.
