Healthy Baby!

We got to hear the baby's heartbeat today!! The heart rate was 160 and we could hear the baby moving all over the place. It was amazing.! I am currently 12 weeks and almost done with with the first trimester. I'm FINALLY starting to feel much better. Not as much nausea and not quite as tired. I feel like I can actually function like a human being again.

Here's a pic of my belly at 12 weeks. It's coming along!







A friend of ours recently told us about the Chinese Gender Chart. We thought it would be fun to try it out and according to the chart we're having a girl!
(The horizontal rows represent the month of conception and the vertical rows represent the mother's age, by lining up the two rows you will get the result of the prediction for the baby. Pink is a girl and blue is a boy.)


Another wives tale I recently heard is if your baby's heart rate is over 140 it's a girl and if it's under 140 it's a boy. Our baby's heart rate today was 160 so this also says we're having a girl.
We'll see in about 8 weeks. We can't wait! You can vote for what you think baby Ainsworth will be on the margin of this page.
