We got to hear our little sweet potato's heartbeat today! It was the second time I've heard the heartbeat, and it was just as exciting as the first!
The doctor said the heartbeat is strong, roughly 150 beats. She also said that I'm measuring just about right — and that there's only one heart beating in there! I'm not sure why, but I was very nervous about the idea that Brian and I might be having twins. I have the genes for twins, on my mother's side, but the doctor (who is a twin herself) said not this time. (which is fine by me! Let's see how we do with one baby first!)
I'm feeling great today. Got a LOT of sleep the last couple nights, and I'm looking forward to stockpiling some more this weekend.
In other baby news, Brian and I recently decided on a theme for the nursery. I'd thought about doing something with stars, moons and suns. But when we went out to investigate the registry, we found a lot of stuff in those patterns had been discontinued. (Apparently I'm so last year...)
Brian got excited when he saw some of the Winnie the Pooh stuff, though. I wasn't convinced, since I didn't want to do a super-commercial theme.
But we saw the perfect compromise at Target the other day. It's a Classic Pooh bedding set that has very subtle Pooh character silhouettes along with stars and moons! And it's all neutral colors. We registered for it right away!
So we're not registering for a whole line of stuff, which isn't available in that theme anyway, but will be looking for Classic Pooh — which is very different than the current Pooh stuff — and nighttime sky stuff to compliment the room.
And it should all go great with the yellow and blue walls in the room already. How exciting! I'll try to get some pics of the space up here soon!
