This was a pretty routine appointment. It was extremely quick. This appointment would have seemed like a mere formality if it hadn't been for one simple thing...we heard the baby's heartbeat for the very first time! The appointment was fast, but very thrilling nonetheless.
FYI: having talked with several doctors on the issue, there is no scientific facts linking the rate of the heartbeat with gender identification. Actually, cultures that have stated facts pointing to this as proof differ from one another. If it were true, the studies should validate each other.

First Side View!
Well, folks, here's the first side view of yours truly. I'm at 14 weeks this week, so we'll see how quickly the weight comes after this. I know there's not much there, but it was a good time to start. The view looks a little bigger from above (i.e. me looking down at my stomach) but it's nice to know that's the only view which gives it that appearance. Unfortunately, I'm already in maternity pants. My regular pants are pretty tight around the waist and looser around the hips (where I normally gain weight) so it didn't take long to grow out of those. Instead of buying a size or two larger in pants and only get to wear them for a month or two, I just went ahead and bought 9 month maternity clothes. They're pretty comfy! I've also already got the itching and dry skin on my stomach where things are stretching, so if anyone has any good remedies for the dry skin, please let me know. Again, thanks to all of you for your prayers and support!
Love to all!
Rachel
