Today was an amazing day for us; we got to hear our baby’s heartbeat for the very first time. We have been waiting for this since the very beginning. The first time they tried it was to early and all you could hear was my heart beating. I always imagined the first time we heard it I would be an emotional wreck. It was a different feeling though; I was just to overwhelmed and excited to cry. I have never heard a heart beating so fast in my life. Speaking of a fast heartbeat, the doctor told us that even though she does not go by this, that an old wives’ tale says that if the heart is beating fast it is more than likely a girl. So the normal range for a baby’s heartbeat is between 120 and 160. Do you want to guess what our baby’s heartbeat was beating at? It was at 153 beats per minute, super fast. The best part is Ben took a video so everyone can hear how fast it really was and how amazing it sounds. It must be a girl that is a very fast heartbeat according to the doctor. Normally I do not believe all the hype and tales, but there may be some truth to it. My mom told me that when I was in the womb my heart was beating at 156, a little faster but we still have 5 more months to get it up there. It has to be a girl it just does not seem like a boy would cause this many issues. Obviously, every pregnancy is different, but it is just a gut feeling we have. I do think it would be really funny if it was a boy, because that would mean that we were all wrong except for my brother who insists that we are having a boy. Even though we talk about what the baby is going to be, it really does not matter. We will be overjoyed whether it is a boy or a girl, all we really want is a beautiful happy healthy baby to love!
12 days until the big reveal…
Hope you enjoy the video.
