Baby bump appt

So i had my 12 week appointment today and all went wonderfully perfect! I actually had no real weight gain yet. I weighed 115 to begin with, then dropped to 113 when i was really dehydrated, but they considered that as mostly just water weight. Now today i was back to 115. So all is well with momma.....As for baby....Joel and I both got to hear it's little heartbeat again....150-160 bpm...just right. All seems to be going well according to the doc. I will have to get an RH shot because i have A- blood and Joel is O+. I guess Joel never knew about the whole RH shot thing so he was asking all kinds of questions about it. Basically, if i don't get the shot, and the baby gets a + RH factor from Joel, there is a big chance that any future children that we have, my body would see as a foreign object, and they would attack it. Since we don't want that...i'll take the shot. :)
This past weekend we had a great time relaxing and partying. On Friday, i got off at 1:00 so we went to the YMCA pool and swam and sat our for a bit. Then we had dinner at a burger restaurant that was awesome, and the meal was free for 4 people because it was a pre-grand opening trial thingy. After that though i felt really sick and went to bed by 6pm and slept until 7am the next day. :( Saturday we went to a pool party and got to swim and relax in the sun again, which was very nice. Sunday was church, japanese hibachi grill for lunch, and then back home to clean up, do laundry, and relax. Overall we had a great weekend and i'm so so so relieved that it was able to end with a good baby bump check up. It's absolutely an amazing thing to hear your unborn child's little heartbeat. It's hard for the pregnancy to feel real because i don't have a huge belly yet, we aren't really buying baby things yet, i feel no kicks yet, it's just hard for it to be real. Hearing that little sound on the doppler though today just makes all of the mornings hugging the toilet, and all of the exhaustion and nausea so worth it. But i still wouldn't mind some of that bad stuff going away...FYI baby!!!
So now we only have 6-8 more weeks until the BIG Ultrasound!! Hopefully it will only be 6 more weeks because we are both just DYING to know what the gender is!
On the plus side we did finally agree on a boy name so now we have both of them picked out. A boy is be Alexander William Cummings, and a girl will be Laurel Mackenzie Cummings. :) So nice to see those names written out. HURRAY for babies!
