We had our second doctor's appointment, yesterday, October 9th. We finally got to meet our doctor, and we like her a lot. She seems very knowledgeable and efficient. We were able to hear the baby's heartbeat, and it was so exciting! Little Baby Timberlake had a very fast heartbeat - 160 BPM. I've heard old wives' tales that a fast heartbeat means a girl, but we won't really know until our ultrasound, which we scheduled for November 13th! I am SO excited to find out if we're having a boy or a girl, but I will be thrilled with either! Not to sound cliche, but we just want a happy, healthy baby! We also found out that my blood type is A neg., so I'll have to get a Rhogam shot. I don't know much about this - has anyone else had this? The doctor assured us it was nothing to worry about, but I want to become as knowledgeable as I can about every aspect of the pregnancy!
The pregnancy is going very well so far! We're in the middle of our 13th week, so we're almost out of the first trimester. I still feel a little iffy most of the time, but as long as the baby is healthy, I don't mind. =)
Our next adventure is finding a new place to live! We can't very well have a baby in our tiny, one bedroom apartment! I really look forward to having a nursery to decorate, especially since some of you have given us some really cute ideas! Any ideas for options if we're not allowed to paint? I'm sure there are cute things we can do, I'm just not sure what they are!
So far Huggies is winning the diaper poll! If you disagree, please let me know! We're going to start buying diapers soon, and we want to get the best! Advice is always welcome! =)

I am A neg too. It was really no big deal. After I had both of my babies the nurse come and gave me the shot. I actually don't even remember it too well with all the other things that were going on...like loving on my new baby!! I do remmeber finding this card in with all of my hospital papers after we got home and it said the date/time that I got the shot. I showed it to Jason and he didn't even rememeber it happening either. Lack of sleep craziness sets in right away!
Hey, I seen you were looking for idea's if you can't paint. You can always staple fabric to the wall and it makes it easy to change also, if you get tired of one color. I say stick with soild colors, those always work the best. Huggies are great diapers, but I always prefered Pampers, never had any issues with those..no diapers rashes or anything and they never leaked, which is a great thing BTW!! I found a huge box of brand new baby girl clothes that Chloe' never wore..because I forgot about them when we moved. I've even got shoes!! I also have some really cute unisex outfits, but Im holding on to the box of clothes til Nov. 13th! Hope everything going well for you!! Can't wait to hear more!
I do know a little about the rhogam shot. Have you had it yet? If not, call me before you do. If you have already had it, don't worry about it.
