Your Little Heartbeat

Dear Little Peanut,

Today was such an exciting day! We got to hear your heart beat again! It hardly took the doctor anytime to find you in there and he said your heartbeat was strong at 167! Nothing else too exciting happened at the appointment except we did get to make our next 3 and we get to find out what you are on October 8! Dad and my first wedding anniversary! I thought that was a pretty cool present to us. We also get to see you again on Dad's birthday, just to make sure you are growing well in there and that Mom doesn't have any funky genes.

It's been pretty slow this week at work so I have been looking at all these consignment shop places and on Craigslist for some furniture for your bedroom. I email everything to Dad first because if he's not asked his opinion on this kind of stuff, he'll flip out! But anyways, there is a lot of cute stuff out there, all I have to do is find it at a good price. :-) It's hard not knowing what you are because all the clothes for sale are all gender specific so we have to know what you are. But for now, I'll just browse and if I find something cute you're getting it!

Let's see....OH...the doctor said I can go back to my Zumba class, so it's me and you babe, working it out....starting next week. The doc says that you might tire me out faster, but that's OK at least I know that we're doing something healthy instead of just sitting on the couch. Dad always tries to get us to go for walks, but then he decides to ditch us and work late.

Mom's friend Lauren is having her baby in October. Her baby is a girl. Maybe you two will be friends one day. They live kind of far away, but that's OK. We will hopefully get to see them. Her baby shower is at the end of September and I'm helping with some of it. Although, I'm kind of confused because they wanted me to come up with some games, and when I did they said they only wanted to play one of them. I don't know...It got me thinking about your baby shower. I know Nana LJ will throw one for you up North, but I'm worried about the one down here...I REALLY don't want your Granny McCrazy to do it. She did my wedding shower and it was a disaster. She didn't answer the phone when people called to RSVP, she didn't write down who was coming when she did answer the phone, and she never did follow up calls to see who was coming, so she had NO idea who was coming. She rented out this ballroom in a hotel that was WAY over priced and only like 15 people showed up. She paid for 40 people, so she basically threw her money down the drain. I don't know if any of my other friends will offer to throw the shower for me, so maybe I will just do it myself. I wonder if there are mommies that have every done that? I mean, I'm so anal anyway I'd rather do it myself! That way it's done the way I want. I know the girls at work will have one...that one will be fun. :-) You are going to have some many friends from mommy's work. There are 4 other women in this office who have babies right now and all the moms are around my age so I bet they will all have at least one more.

Alright little peanut, I'm going to sign off for now! I love you soooooooo much!
