Pregnancy update

I haven't really had time to do this. All is well. First trimester problems are all over and have been for a while. Since the end of July or so. I had a dr.'s app. a week ago and got to listen to the heartbeat. A perfect 150 beats per minute. She couldn't find it at first so they brought out the little ultrasound machine again. The baby was laying at the very bottom (I no longer wonder why I frequent the bathroom so often) So she pulled out the doppler thing to try for the heartbeat again and found it no problem. I'm now 18 weeks. My ultrasound is next wednesday. I'm so excited!!! Will has agreed to find out the gender. He says only because he can't say no to me....but I think he's secretly excited to find out on wednesday. Now watch the baby won't cooperate. I'm also waiting to get back the results of a blood test. It should take another week or so. It looks for problems with the baby like downs and a couple other things. I'm not worried....I'm young and neither of us have a family history of genetic problems so everything should be fine. So hopefully everything at the ultrasound goes well and we have a healthy baby. And maybe wednesday there will be a post of "It's a ..........." I'm so clueless as to what it is that I had a dream that we had twins and one was a girl and the other was a boy. Or maybe I should say nightmare :-)
