That's Cool Mama!

Allie came with Brett and I to hear her sister's heartbeat for the very first time. She was so excited this morning that she was waiting for us. When Dr. Dale placed the microphone on my stomach, Allie's eye got huge and she exclaimed "That's cool Mama". Dr. Dale offered to let Allie hear her own heartbeat but she declined, only wanting to hear the baby's. As for me, I gained 3.5 pounds (which puts me at 7.5 pounds in 27 weeks- only 13 more weeks to go!) and my blood pressure is normal. I take the gestational diabetes test next week. I've been having Braxton-Hicks the last couple of days which have been rather uncomfortable and tiring. I don't remember having them while I was pregnant with Allie. My dr. gave me this big scientific explanation and then told me to get use to them. No love from her. And on another note, Brett and I are celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary today. It's amazing how much our lives have changed since that day.
