Alana-the family doctor is trained to be a mini expert in a lot of different areas, not an expert like your OB in the area of pregnancy. I am sure your baby is growing and measuring fine. Many, many women do not even show until much later, my aunt did not show until she was 6+ months along, and she is the smallest person I know, she went to the hospital with her pre pregancy pants unbuttoned and went home with them buttoned, sick I know!!! So try not to worry about a stupid comment your doctor said, I don't even trust mine to treat strep throat and see the NP. And I am sure the hb being strong is a reflection on how well you have been taking care of the little one and how much he or she is growing! Are you starting to hear the hb differently, mine has that in out sound and it is amazing! He or she is doing a lot of resting lately though, the heart rate is staying close to 140, even down to 137 this afternoon and not a whole lot of movement when I use it. I might have to use it at night to see if I have a night owl in there! How is your MIL doing? Still sending her prayers!!!

Charms-that is too funny, pimples=girls! I dont know the more I think about it the more I think girl, but we will have to see!

Amy-sometimes moms are the worst, they mean well and want the best for us but just don't know when to be quiet. I think I scared my mom into not giving me advice or saying too many things that might upset me, I flipped out on her back in december when she made the comment if I just stopped trying I would get preggo and I yelled and cried and was pretty scary I am sure, so now I think she's afraid to say much.

Oh and no baby purchases today, darn this feeling of jinxing myself! I am usually a shopaholic and buy waaaay too much! I guess I will just let other people buy me stuff for now.
