I'm having a girl, and wh...Yay for the update! I'm having a girl, and when we first started listening to the heart rate at 12 weeks or so, it was always high - like 160+. Now I have those non-stress tests where they monitor the heart rate for 20 minutes at a time, and I watch it go all over the place. It seems to be around 140 when she's resting, but then when she starts kicking it shoots up to as high as 170, and it also sometimes drops to as low as 120. (This is a GOOD thing - they want to see that the baby's heart is reacting to the movement.) Anyway, there's some info for what it's worth...<br /><br />I would LOVE to only be up 5 lbs, although I can understand how awful the sickness must be. I've gained a little over 25, and I'm okay with that. I have another friend around my height/build - and much more in shape than me - who gained 50 with both of her kids, and she lost it all quickly both times. I just hope I can do the same! I hope you don't get swollen feet. That's really the only annoying symptom I have and it started right at 30 weeks. My BP's great though, so nobody's concerned.<br /><br />Good luck with everything! And I kind of think you're having a boy, too! :)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06268296503317758146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493014498567139094.post-86610785943093494512009-07-09T05:39:57.074-04:002009-07-09T05:39:57.074-04:00Hurray for the update!

Super impressive!<br /><br />My little girl's heart rate is almost always in the 150s, so maybe girls' heart rates *are* higher than boys? Who knows. We'll find out when your little one arrives!SAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05711028834217543644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493014498567139094.post-29826011695033248312009-07-08T21:13:58.609-04:002009-07-08T21:13:58.609-04:00"Still, I pretty much hate food right now, an..."Still, I pretty much hate food right now, and I can't wait until I can stop stressing about how to up my caloric intake. It also gets irritating to have people (my husband included) harassing me to eat more."<br /><br />-Gotta say, I understood and related to that one. I don't think anyone was happy with the amount I ate until that last month. Maybe not even then. But once you have the baby, and start nursing, your appetite should come back even stronger than before. :) <br /><br />I also didn't realize how "firm" a pregnant belly felt. Amazing, huh?<br /><br />I am glad your BP is so good, and the GD test went well (good for you taking it!), so now we just have to have that baby move into the right position. You're right not to stress though.<br /><br />Sorry I didn't get a chance to come over, we left for NC a day early. I will text you when I get back!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15325492689515460829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493014498567139094.post-19136216637798766312009-07-08T21:00:03.296-04:002009-07-08T21:00:03.296-04:00Cool!

My son's...Cool! I did Bradley. Liked it a lot!<br /><br />My son's heart rate seemed to usually be in the 140s, but my memory might be failing me.<br /><br />I LOVED my birth ball. I sat on that thing for practically all of my third trimester and then for a few months post-partum. That thing is great! I also thought it felt good to tailor sit.<br /><br />Sitting in my easy chair was so uncomfortable. The slight recline put too much baby pressure on my back.<br /><br />Ok, email me when you have a chance...I want to unload some Happy Heinys and I wanna know if you want them or if I should find another interested mama :)Kaciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03068520824047487960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493014498567139094.post-14695142651188166382009-07-08T20:24:44.422-04:002009-07-08T20:24:44.422-04:00THANK YOU!!
