15 weeks, 3 days: One of the best sounds EVER!

I went to the doctor yesterday and got to hear the heartbeat again. This time, I recorded it!!! I've been working on formatting it so I can post it to the site and here it is:

I love it! I've only listened to it about a 50 times so far. It makes me smile everytime I hear it. The appt went well...most of it. I met with the other doc in the office (they like you to go once just to meet him) and he scolded me for putting on 15 pounds so far. I can't wait to see my doctor again. I was so upset and a little confused on what I was supposed to do since I'm still always hungry. He said I could still eat, I just had to eat better. And for the record, I don't think I eat that bad. And I have to exercise!...(I know this). It's just hard. I mean to walk on the treadmill I have, but I'm now getting about 3 to 4 headaches a week and they're not fun. They vary on the pain scale with the one I have now being up there. When are they going to pass?!

Back to the good stuff. I scheduled my big ultrasound for Thursday, November 16th! They'll make sure things are progressing like they should and we'll find out if we are having a boy or a girl! Either one is fine with us. We just want a healthy baby! I'm kind of leaning towards a girl though. New belly pics next week since I'll be 16 weeks. Can't wait to show you that 15 pounds!

Few other notes (for my reference): I ate some sauerkraut today at lunch and loved it! It was so good. And it wasn't on a hotdog or Reuben sandwich. It was all by itself. I think that's a first for me. Who knows? Before this is all over I could be a vegetable lover. That's a bold statement.

Big game this weekend. Go Gators!

Love ya!
