I hope some of you are actually checking out my blog :). Like I said, knowing that some people might actually take a look is going to motivate me to update it more frequently. And I think I should add some more pictures, even if they aren't baby related. This is a picture of the view from our hotel window at Disney's Hilton Head Resort. Very nice. And here is a dolphin we saw on a boat tour I took with my mom and step-dad while John was golfing. Now I just need to figure out how to put two pictures on the Left side. Hmmm.....Now that I am almost 18 weeks, I have become obsessed with feeling the baby. I know I probably have another week or two before I feel anything since this is my first, but I keep reading how all these other women are feeling kicking and moving already at this stage and it's driving me crazy! I did rent the Baby Beat Doppler ($25 a month!) though, which is wonderful. For the time between my 14 and 18 week appointments and without having any movement yet, it has definitely given me peace of mind more than once. Even though I keep getting fatter, which should be a sign by itself that everything is ok, it is so nice to just pop that doppler on and find the heartbeat beating away. The baby has a fairly fast heartbeat, it doesn't have an automatic read (an extra $20 a month) but it was 165 when I went to the doctor at 14 weeks and I would say that is still pretty consistent. Maybe a slight bit slower, but still in the 150s. Some people say that is a girls heartbeat, I guess we'll find out in about 22 weeks :).
