The number of weeks Melissa has been pregnant.
It’s a major milestone because once you get there the chances of miscarriage dramatically decrease. It’s also the number of weeks we agreed to get to before we started telling our family, friends and coworkers.
We’ve started telling people and the number one response: “I knew it”.
So how did all these people know? They say our recent SUV purchase and my hurry to get to the doctor was the give away. Who knew everyone was a pregnancy detective?

160
Our baby’s number of heart beats per minute.
Melissa got to hear the beating heart at the doctor’s office the other day. The doc said the heart sounded strong. That’s good news.
Two different people told us an old wives tale about a heart rate 160 or higher means you’re having a girl. I’m not putting my faith in it. Maybe that’s because one of those people has a daughter who had a heart rate of 150. The other: a boy who had a rate of 172.

1,000,000
That’s how many pieces of advice we’re already getting.
None of it has been better than from my grandma who told Melissa, “don’t get skinny after you have the baby or you’ll just get pregnant again”.
Ok then.
