We are happy now to have the opportunity to update all of our Family & Friends through our Blog as to what is going on with our little Beanie! I have successfully gained 5 lbs in the first 4 mo. of pregnancy and am feeling wonderful! I am tired and am eating a lot, but both are to be expected. Brandon's original opinion was that Beanie was a little girl, but, as my appetite grows he is beginning to think it just might be a boy!
Our three Dr. appointments have gone great. The first, an ultrasound at 7 wks, allowed us to see OUR BABY, though extremely small, growing inside of my belly!
At the second appointment at 11wks we heard Beanie's heart beat for the first time... a healthy 164 bpm.
The third appointment at 15 wks we again heard Beanie's heart beat...160 bpm. Blood work was taken for our TriScreen, testing AFP, hCG and uE3 levels in the blood for Open Neural Tube Defects, Down Syndrome and Trisomy 18. Thankfully our results came back to us as Normal!
Our next appointment is an ultrasound scheduled for Jan 9. On this day, we will learn the sex of Beanie! We will then be anxious to move forward with bedroom preparations and ordering furniture.
Will definitely keep you posted....

Oh Yay! I can finally spill the beans about little Beanie Blair (Hee-Hee). Hearing the heartbeat is just the beginning of many wonderful moments ahead! I can't wait until Jan. 9th. I will tell you that Pax had very similar numbers in terms of his heartbeat. Hmmmmm. :)
