Last night on the way out the door to the Billy Joel concert Katherine wanted to kiss the baby (my belly) goodbye. Caleb came up to me and said, "Mommy, I wanna kiss the baby too". I looked at him, smiled and told him that the baby would love one of his kisses.

He said "Great" and hugged my boob and then proceeded to slobber all over my shirt. What was that???? I started laughing, and he patted by chest and said, "good night baby. I see you in the morning".

OK, my boobs are getting huge, but come on!!

I had a routine appointment today and met one of the new doctors in the practice. I really liked him -- he was super nice, took tons of time with me, really listened to what I had to tell him, and was older, about 50'ish.

Anyway we were chatting away and when he found the heartbeat he said, "I better be quiet. It's the baby's heartbeat you want to hear, not me!" How right he was!!

The baby's heartbeat was close to 160. He looked at me, laughed and said, "How's another little girl sound????" Talk about making me giddy! To be honest I really don't care what sex the baby is, but I really want to know one way or another. I'm such a planner!

The good news is that on May 6th, at 9:30 in the morning, all the guessing and wondering will be over and I'll (hopefully) know for sure! I'm getting an ultrasound and the little one better be willing to show the goods!

Reason number 582 why I love my husband....

Last night I'm sitting in Katherine's bed waiting for them to pick out books, when Matt walks into the room, takes one look at me, and says,

"WOW.... Your belly really is getting big!".

Oh, just wait baby... I'm a firm believer in getting even!
