Busy day: 12 week appt. and a daycare tour

I went to my Ob today and got to hear the heartbeat again. When the baby stopped moving, the heartbeat was beating between 153 bpm and 159. Last appt. it was at 158. Still good and strong. My doctor tracked and the baby moved about seven times in a few minutes.

So I got a pregnancy journal and organizer and it has a section where you document the details of each appt. and can write down your questions for your next appt. Here were some of my crazy questions.
Can I eat hot dogs? ( had a craving) Answer: yes
Can I use facial astringent? (my face is breaking out from all the hormonal changes. Answer: yes
Can I use self tanning lotion or spray tan? Answer: yes
Do I have to take the TUMS everyday for my calcium? (chewables r not tasting good) Answer: I just need to get in three servings of calcium and ice cream can count as one.
How accurate is the Intelligender test you can buy to tell the sex of the baby early? Answer: My OB has had two patients use the test and it was wrong both times. (We will be patient and wait until 19 weeks.

Yes that is right we have to wait to 19 weeks to find out the sex. It was supposed to be 18 weeks but we will be at the beach that week and doing at the 17th week is to early.

My next appt. is May 12th, where we will listen to the heartbeat again. Then on June 9th we will find out the sex.

Also I weighed 122 at my appt. today and weighed 121 last month. A gain of one pound for the month. It was surprising to me considering some of my cravings last month, but I also have been working out twice to three times a week. Cardio mostly.

After my appt. I went to take a tour of a daycare. It is called Coles Academy and one of Clint's work friends recommended it, her daughter attends this daycare and she had good things to say about it. I got the tour and was very impressed about many things. It is near our home and across from my gym. I put our name on the waiting list. They said we should be okay since we don't need it to start until March 2011. However, the director said starting early was a good idea. The baby room only has 8 slots and they are full right now. The ratio is 8 to 2. It was kinda surreal taking the tour but I can definitely see myself or Clint going to pick our baby up.
