running horses

much to parker's delight we got to go visit "auntie" rosanna today. we talked, i peed in a cup (no protein), weighed myself (still no weight gain), and got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time (r told parker it would sound like running horses). pretty exciting stuff. i got my referral for my ultrasound which will be in the middle of february. r is now waffling about whether he wants to find out the gender or not. he says everyone (at work, etc.) keeps saying "i bet you're hoping for a boy huh?" um, no. just a healthy baby!
