Doctor Visit

On January 7th we made our monthly visit to see Dr. Waters. McKinney's heart rate was 159 and we could hear it much clearer since she is getting much bigger. Again, Dr. Waters measured my belly and I am still right on track. We will have one more 4 week visit then we will go down to three weeks then two then one. On my next visit I have to do the glucose test to see if I have gestational diabetes's. She will also check to see how my iron level is doing. So far, I am feeling great. Our next appointment is February 4th.

Oh, I am also feeling her move around a lot. I have decided that she is going to be quite the swimmer. I think sometimes I feel her doing the breast stroke in there.

It's A.....

GIRL!

I know most people know this already but I haven't updated this blog in a while so I wanted to make sure I include this since it will be like a little record of my pregnancy for McKinney to read when she is older. On December 18th we went to the hospital for my 20 week ultrasound and everything looked wonderful from what the doctor can see. He also gave us no doubt that it was a girl. As I mentioned above, her name will be McKinney Rae. McKinney is my grandmother's (dad's mom) maiden name and Rae is my middle name. We are very axious to welcome our little girl into our lives.
