It has been a while since I last updated the blog. The baby has been growing so much. Larry and I went for our 4 month appointment on November 9 and got to hear the heartbeat again. It is amazing how one month will change the strength of the heartbeat so much. I decided to post the 12 week heartbeat and the 16 week heartbeat so you can see the difference, too.
This week (17 weeks), the baby is about five inches long and weighs about 3.5 ounces. From this point on, the baby will start to put on quite a bit of weight. It's so exciting because I am just now starting to show and look noticeably pregnant!
We have made decisions about the nursery furniture, car seat and stroller, etc. and are waiting patiently to find out what the little one is. I love seeing the votes for whether you think it is a girl or boy. Larry thinks it's a girl and I have a hunch it's a boy. Either way, one of us is right and we will both be ecstatic regardless of the baby's gender.
We received great news that my maternity leave will be paid! That is such great news. It never has made sense that when you need an extra paycheck the most, you don't get it! We are so blessed.
Since there will be so many changes in the coming weeks, I will be sure to update the blog more frequently than each month. Thanks for keeping up with us!

Always side with the mother. Plus, the faster the rate, the more likely a boy. It's about 156 beats per minute which means it is a BOY!
Or you could BOTH be right... are you sure there's only ONE?!?
