Heartbeat - What a Sweet Sound

Today was our third visit to Dr. Le. We heard the heartbeat for the first time today. What an awesome noise! The baby's heartbeat was 148 beats per minute, which for you nervous people out there (Oh, that's just me) normal range is 120 - 160. The mommy-to-be has gained a total of four pounds, with two of that being since the last appt. Dr. Le said the total weight gain at five months (only a month away) should be about ten pounds, so we have a ways to go!
Iska has finally stopped throwing up so much - what a relief! Maybe it has to do with her having the sweetest husband in the world. One day, after finishing two backyard projects, he made homemade enchiladas and Spanish rice and he wasn't even going to be home for dinner! If you see Jarad, make sure you tell him he is doing a great job. Well, that's all for now. We have another appt in four weeks with Dr. Le and the big news will come the following week when we get the mother of all ultrasounds at the hospital. During this visit they check all of the organs and we FINALLY get to know if this is a baby GIRL or boy! Can you tell which way mommy is leaning?

From Jill--I'm glad you're not throwing up so much. It must really be getting better if you are gaining weight!! I love your blog and being able to keep up with what's going on. Thanks.
