First of all congrats on your pregnancy, and secondly congrats on

that huge 173 pound loss!! Good for you!! I love this group

because I learn so much from these ladies (and guys), and I get to

ask all my silly questions too and get real answers.

I think I'm almost as far as you in my pregnancy - to tell you the

truth I don't exactly know just yet. I was thinking of scheduling

an OB visit but I wonder if I should wait a bit since it's still

early? *shrug*

Wow you had your first ultrasound already? I remember with my first

pregnancy I only got to have one ultrasound. Of course I wanted

more hehe! You know they say that a boy's heartrate is slower and

that a girl's is faster... like around 140s-150s. So you never

know..... *grin* I'm secretly hoping for another girl but of

course I'll take anything the good Lord gives me.

So...welcome to the group and enjoy your stay!

Hugs,

Aaliyah
