On March 19, I went to see Dr. Peck for the second time. This time he did all my blood work, and I'm glad to have that out of the way! He said that everything with little p looked good. We were able to have another ultrasound. We got to hear the heartbeat that time too...a great experience! There is something that is just so incredibly precious about seeing "your little baby" moving all around and seeing and hearing the heart beating. Absolutely a miracle! Little p's heart rate was, the first time he checked it at this visit 155ish and the second time he checked it - just a few minutes later, was fluctuating between 160 and 168. Maybe little p was just completely excited that mama and papa Nichols got to see him/her and listen to the heartbeat as well. =) That was cool. My blood pressure was 115/71 - I'm just hoping it will hold this through the rest of the time. My cousin, Sarah Ann, just had a little baby boy on the 20th and before he was born, she was put on bed rest because of her BP. :( Little p now measures in at 3 inches from head to rump...maybe a little more by now! As you can see in the pictures, little p has grown quite a bit in the time between doctor appointments. My next appointment is scheduled for April 30. At that appointment, Dr. Peck said he should be able to tell the sex of the baby! Let's hope little p cooperates!
The latest picture of little p - it's blurry. Dr. Peck said he'd print off another one, but I think he forgot and I didn't think to remind him.
Comparison of pictures...
Ok...I know it isn't much yet, but I have family that hasn't seen me since having the slightest bump! I will be 15 weeks along on Wednesday.

How exciting! I think you all are going to have a little girl. Hope your pregnacy is a very healthy one.
I am so proud of you!!!! Well be praying for you during this exciting time! Love Melissa ( I won't call the gender of the baby quite yet but I was correct both times with Ray's sister... so I think that makes me a professional, he he)
Those heartbeats makes me cry every time!
My goodness! I'm so happy for you all I could just jump real high in the sky(:!!!
Thanks for all the pics! We can't wait for the new arrival! Praying for you three!
According to the "old wives" you're having a girl...they were right with us, but our doctor told us the heartbeat thing isn't always accurate!! It's exciting finally finding out. My sisters have just about purchased her a whole wardrobe in their first shopping trip. I'm the one who needs clothes!!!!
