We have a heartbeat!
Yesterday Mark and I got to see and hear the baby's heartbeat! We were so excited! Dr. said it's good and strong and everything is on track.
And we got the baby's first picture:

Chinese Gender Prediction
Based on your age (converted into Lunar age) and your month of conception, the chinese gender predictor predicts a....
Baby Girl !
"The Chinese Baby Gender Predictor was discovered in a royal tomb about 700 years ago, the original of which is now kept in the Institute of Science at Peking.
Although many believe the chances of the chart predicting the sex of your baby are completely random, there have been surveys in Chinese hospitals where the accuracy rate is around 70%!"
Ok, so I guess the Predictor has a 50/50 shot right?!?!? LOL Just thought this was something fun - we'll have to wait and see if it's correct!

Appetitie Changing
So I am definitely not eating as much - but I'm hungry more often now! I get incredibly hungry around 11:00 a.m., so I have to remember to bring a snack to work - or I'll have to get stuff to stash here. The other day I was craving Villa Pizza - went right down at lunch and got 2 slices of cheese and an order of garlic knots, yummmm! LOL
As you know, Mark is the cook in the house and I feel bad when I don't finish a meal now. But he understands and he gets to eat my leftovers!
I also have to watch the coffee drinking, and any caffeine. Switched to decaf and try to only drink one cup per day as it is. We bought caffeine free diet soda for home, but it's hard when we eat out since most places don't have caffeine free AND diet. So I've been drinking a lot more Sprite!
Taking my prenatal pills that are the size of a mini candy bar, but I'm getting used to them now! All my folic acid, DHA and omega-3 fish oils...........fish oils, so why can't I eat sushi?!?!? I know, I know raw fish, blah blah blah, but I miss it so.
And wine. We DJ'd at a wine tasting fundraising event my boss had - all that free wine and I could only smell it! I lived vicariously through Mark that night. *sigh*

How it all started.......
Mark and I started to dicuss the "baby topic" back in July. I'll admit, at first we both thought I was crazy, but then my biological clock must have kicked into overdrive and I got baby fever BAD. But due to timing, we decided to wait to try until April 2009. Yeah, that didn't last!
I immediately began "charting my fertility" and Mark thought I had officially lost my mind, but it was something for me to do and I got to put a cool ticker up in my signature on the "baby message boards" that I had joined with other women obsessing over babies. LOL So we decided September would be the new start date and we were blessed to have gotten lucky on the first shot!
I took a home pregnancy test on October 7th and .....
yes, I took a picture of it to save for all time! LOL
Dr.'s office is closed on Wednesdays so waited until Thursday to call....by then I was sick with some kind of sinus cold and was told all I could take was the little red 10mg of Sudafed. Yeah, right. Those things do nothing for me when I take 30mg of them! So I was miserable. Went to the walkin on Friday and found out I had tonsilitis, so got antibiotic for that and was on my way!
Went to the Dr. for the first appointment on Tuesday, October 14th and was surprised they wanted to do an ultrasound so early, but I didn't argue. There wasn't much to see yet, but it did prove I was pregnant! Sent me off for bloodwork and will see me again on the 28th, when we can hopefully see the heartbeat!
