I went to the doctor's today! Everything went really well. The doctor found the heartbeat right away...which I was very happy about! The heartbeat was 160. I am still not showing. I asked the doctor when I could expect to start showing and she said probably not until the 5th month. That's still 7-8 weeks away. I want for everyone to be able to see that I am pregnant! We also discussed the swine flu. She definately recommends getting the vaccine but they won't have it till next week, so I am supposed to call then. She talked to me about getting the test for down syndrome next time, which I am opting out of. That is something I don't need to know. We will love the baby no matter what and I don't need to know that ahead of time.
Anyways, in other news, our new floors got installed yesterday and I absolutely love it! It is amazing how the hardwood brightens up the room and makes it look bigger. I can't wait for the carpet to be installed next week.
I did not show either until into the 5th month - I knew but others did not. Not until good into the 6th month did I show...don't worry you will FEEL it but others won't be able to tell. That's not a bad thing for later on (thinking stretch marks, etc). My doc told me the same thing b/c of how I am built... you are long, so there is room to fill in you as opposed to OUT of you. The good thing is maybe you won't get so big and uncomfortable as some.

As you said - we'd still love the baby no matter what & after Phil, I thought Downs kids were the sweetest angels ever. #2 - I didn't want to stress & worry the whole pregnancy!!! :)
I love you Hillie - so happy you have this blog up!
