Three Weeks and Counting Until....

Actually, it is only two and a half weeks until Wes and I get to learn if we are having a boy or a girl! We're both very eager to have the mystery unveiled. While at this point we're hoping for a girl, have a girl name chosen out, and can't agree on a boy name, I have no doubt we'll be delighted if we get contrary news.

In the meantime, I'm trying my best to make predictions. My friend Kim Arnold mentioned to me something about the heart rate speed having a correlation to the sex of the baby. Well, after my doctor check-up this morning where the heart rate was counted, I went to work and hopped on the internet to do some research on the theory. While no scientific evidence supports the theory, it says that if the heart rate is above 140, you're having a girl and if it is below 140, you're having a boy. Any guesses about our baby's heart rate? That's right - 140 on the dot! So, I suppose we'll have to wait a little longer to know. But, if you care to post your personal predictions, we'd love to hear!

After the first blog, I received several requests for pictures on my progression, so Wes started taking some profile pictures. At this point, it feels a little rediculous, but I'm sure I'll enjoy looking back on these pictures when I'm in week 35! The first picture was taken at 14 weeks and the second this week (week 17).

The last two pictures are from the Simmons family vacation to Cape Cod & Boston to celebrate my brother Josh's graduation from graduate school! Congrats to him!
