Some baby updates

We're 22 weeks and 4 days today.  Two nights ago Jarrod and I could see the baby moving from the outside, but we haven't gotten the timing right for him or Gavin to feel her yet.  I can't wait for that!  Today we had a doctor's appointment.  The heart rate was 151 and the doctor said everything was looking good.  They definitely do things a little different here...I don't have to give a urine sample like I did with Gavin and they haven't started measuring my belly yet.  But, I do like the doctor and I've heard such great things about the practice so I feel like I'm in good hands.  I did learn that if everything goes smoothly at delivery, I only have to stay 24 hours.  That surprised me, but it is less time I have to be away from Gavin.  :)  Today at my appointment, Jarrod asked if it was 'still a girl,' and Dr. Schmitz said 'Looks that way!  But we have been wrong before.'  Wow!  That's reassuring.  ;)  He said that it's rare, but ultrasounds aren't always accurate, so now I'm a little worried about that.  I keep showing everyone the ultrasound pictures and everyone says girl, but I still have fears of hearing 'It's a boy!' at the birth.  We're putting pretty much all our clothes in the consignment sale or garage sale in a couple of weeks and we sure do have a lot of pink already!  I called a local ultrasound place today, but it's $90 to go in and I don't think we should spend the money on it.  So, I guess if we end up with a little boy after all of this - he'll be wearing pink for a while! :)
