We went to the doctor again today. The heart rate is around 160-161. According to the “Old Wives Tale” this means we are having a girl. I’m not exactly sure what that tale is, or what the ranges are for girls vs. boys, but we’ll take each little indication that we’re having a girl this time and hold onto it as fact simply because we really want to believe we are having a girl this time. We go again the first week of January. That will be the big one, the one where we get to bring a VCR cassette and record the sonogram. For you folks that were born after 1980, it’s a magnetic tape used to store video. For a full discussion on the VCR, see the wiki page. It’s also the visit where we will be able to find out for sure (as sure as one can be about these things) whether it is going to be a boy or a girl.
The baby is moving a lot lately. I actually felt it kick last night. We tried to get Alex to feel the baby, but he would burst out into uncontrollable giggles. I don’t know if he was just really uncomfortable or freaked out or what. He could not keep it together long enough to feel the baby kick. He is so excited though and talks about the baby all the time.
We got to spend Thanksgiving with my parents. We had a great time and stuffed ourselves silly. After Thanksgiving we drove up to Helen for the weekend. The weather was beautiful on Saturday, and we spent most of the day walking around Helen and doing fun stuff with Alex. He got to ride one of the horse drawn carriages. Alex and I also got to see a really, really big model train set. The thing was two stories high. You can see pictures here. Alex was so amazed. He loves trains, and this was just so cool for someone who loves trains.
