Chris and I went to the doctor yesterday. It was a crazy appointment. (I was bad and I forgot my camera) After about 20 minutes of sitting in a waiting room full of people we headed on back. I climbed on up the dreaded scale.....and woohoooo.....I had gained no weight!! Since I had gained 6 lbs. last time, this was very exciting!! Next was the BP...it was perfect. Then the moment we had been waiting on.....we got to hear the heartbeat. She found it without any problem and it was beating strong and fast. It was such a great feeling to know that he/she is growing good and that he's really still in there =) I'm pretty sure my heart grew a little larger after hearing that!!!
Dr. Watson came in and after about 3 minutes, the lights went out. Apparently something had blown and a good portion of town was out. I had to have my blood drawn so the lady sat me by a window so she could see to do it by sunlight. That was no problem until she realized she had picked up the wrong tubes (since it was dark and she couldn't see the colors) and took an extra tube or so of blood. Oh well, at least I know I have plenty. Then the best part of all............their computers were down so they couldn't take our money!! Woohoooo!!! I was very excited about that! :) When we left the waiting room was still packed and we were glad we were heading out and not heading in!
Then things kept getting better. Our good friends Rebekah and Cricket Curl were in labor! Poor Bekah labored all day yesterday and this morning. But look at her beautiful prize:

She is just precious and everyone is doing great.
Being at the hospital with them made both Chris and I VERY ready for it to be our turn. Even though we have quite a few months to go, it made it seem a little bit closer. Just the excitement of having all the friends and family around waiting to get a peek at the baby was great. I could just picture all of our crazy bunch up there making fools of themselves and entertaining everyone at the hospital. Only 6.5 months to go!! =)
Congrats on hearing the heartbeat!! That is always so exciting. And yes, I can only imagine what your crazy bunch will be doing at the hosp when it's your turn! Ha!

When is your due date again? I can't wait. How fun! Wish I could be there to help you do the fun stuff like decorate his/her room and throw the shower. We're probably coming down for Christmas so I can see you then! Love you! Jenn
