Counting the Days!

I had an appointment with my doc this morning and everything is good. I got to hear the heartbeat again and this time it was much easier to find and hear. It was great!! I was sorry James couldn't make it because it was a good 'in and out' appointment. I had only gained a pound since my last appointment and they didn't have to take any blood. Hey, I thought 1 pound in 4 weeks was a miracle!! I expected it to be way more than that because I've been eating like a pig and my clothes don't fit!! I'm not sure of my weight gain for the pregnancy so far but I think it's a little higher than I want it to be - maybe 5-7 pounds? The doc doesn't seem concerned but then she doesn't have to lose the weight next year, does she? Also, since I had a head start in the weight gain department I'm only supposed to gain about 20 pounds total and that's not looking so good is it? I am counting the days until my next appointment. My next ultrasound is right at 19 weeks so we'll get to find out if James gets his boy. So far, I've had one dream that it's a girl and Christy's 2 year old told me it's a girl BUT the Chinese Lunar Calendar says it's a boy and one lady at work said it's a boy. I was thinking 'girl' because of that dream but that was a long time ago so now I just don't know again. Good thing we only have 4 weeks until we find out!! We are so ready to buy something ... ANYTHING ... but we're waiting to know if we should buy pink or blue!! My mom said she's very surprised we haven't spent any money yet because spending money is what we do best!! hee hee :-) That time is coming very soon!
