2009 Pregnancy/baby thread

Heard the heartbeat again yesterday, it sounds good! It's a slower heartbeat but I don't believe it means anything about the sex. I sure hope it's a boy though!!

I was told that a slower heartbeat means it is a boy.

Hey Kari! Looks like you're well on your way to getting ready!
I'm going baby clothes shopping tomorrow with my mother in law.
They are having a Carter's sale at the base.
Oh, and the crib was just delivered 15 minutes ago! It's the crib with dresser/changer combo. I can't wait to see it put together.
Hubby will have a project this weekend!!!

Anyone know how many diapers of size one will I go though??

I bought 1 big box of pampers (I think there are 216 in it). Will I need more?

I was told that a slower heartbeat means it is a boy.

I will say that my boy's heartbeat has been consistently slower than his sister's ever was, and also, I had much less morning sickness with my boy. On the other hand, he kicks like a little soccer player, whereas his sister was more fluttery when she moved.

On the diaper question, if that big box is NB size, you may want to wait before buying more, just to see how long your little one stays in that size. Katherine stayed in them longer than I thought she would have, but a lot of babies don't stay in that size very long at all. You will go through a LOT of diapers, though, more than you would ever think. You can always stock up on size 1 & 2 diapers, though.

On another note, I have a tummy picture and a couple of other pictures I'll share later. I've just got to get them on Photobucket. They are on my blog, but I don't want to post the link on a public message board. (If anyone wants a link to the blog, feel free to PM me, though.)
