an update sounds like fun!!! i was in to see ob last week due to being high

risk and everything is fine with the baby. he has a nice strong baby boy

heartbeat at 142. it was 140 on my us. of course, she told us that that

isnt totally acurate but pretty good statistic wise. i went up to mayo

where i had my surgery yesterday and my lab is bad. my calcium is way low

and my protein is low enough that they are threating protein

shakes...yuck!!!!! my blood sugar is running pretty low which is why i have

having problems feeling like i am going to pass out. at least i have an

answer finally. does this mean that i dont have to have the diabetes test

where they make you drink all that junk? i have to take more pills and more

pills yet. i feel like thats all i ever get done. and of course, you cant

take them all at the same time, that would be way too easy right???

i really do love being pregnant and i guess i really havent had any major

problems. the baby is growing too fast for me. it makes me feel like it

will be all over and i am just starting. i might as well get used to it. i

am 22 weeks and counting.

good luck to all of you

ps...i agree with the comment about comparing ourselves to each other. i am

still losing but have just about come to a standstill. i will be happy to

gain 10 lb but hopefully not much more than that. everything i am going to

gain will be baby unless of course, i win the lottery with butterfinger

candybars...yummy!!!!!

Hi all,

Since everyone is doing updates I thought I would too.

I had my 20 weeks appointment today....have herd the heartbeat 4 times now,

2 saying a girl and 2 saying a boy (according to the old wives tale) lol

Everything is going very well and I have gained 3 pounds total now.

So half way there and very happy!

With my daughter by this point I had gained at least 25-30 pounds and had

very high blood pressure and was on bed rest with a nurse coming everyday.

So I have found WLS also a blessing in pregnancy.

Take care

I guess the 140 and below hearbeat is a boy and 141 and up is a girl theory

is WRONG, because I'm having a girl and her heartbeat is usually around 132

to 134 per minute. I have a doppler at home and check it twice a day. I

was hoping for a boy, too, but I have been blessed with a baby girl.

i am beginning to wonder. the dentist wife is expecting and her little boys

heart beat is 156. i guess the only way we will ever know for sure will be

the delivery. oh well. at this point i guess i really dont care. the

suspense is beginning to get to me though.

have a good day
