So Erik and I had our official 12 week appt bright and early this morning! Everything is still looking great, but we have official confirmation that our child is a total wiggle worm. We told the doc how much he/she was wiggling during the ultrasound last week and she shrugged and said "well, some babies just move more than others." But as soon as we got the Doppler out and started listening she said, "holy cow he won't sit still at all!!" So we got to hear the heartbeat again, but not nearly as long in a stretch as we would have liked because our monster was all over the place and she was having to chase him around. She guesstimated the heartbeat to be about 150, which is consistent with what we've had so far. :)
I know I'm not really known for my calmness, and watching Erik drum every little movable thing in the doctor's office this morning made me realize how much he moves constantly, so I guess we shouldn't be surprised!

So, I hear there's an old wives tale that if you're baby's heart rate is over 140, wiggles a lot, and has a big cranium that you're more than likely to be having a girl or a boy!
Isn't that crazy!
