Shannon went to the doctor last week for a checkup. Mother to be and tiny Minninger are doing great. Shannons blood pressure is good. 110/70. (mine is higher than that laying on the couch)
The fetus heartbeat is strong and fast. 170 BPM. (again, mine is higher than that laying on the couch)
Still no nausea.
Next doctor visit she will get some more bloodwork done to check for markers that could indicate something like Downs Syndrome or more serious problems. The doctor doesn't seem to be concerned. I like his laid back, positive attitude.
Sometime in July we should be able to find out the sex of the baby. I feel pretty strongly it will be a girl. I also feel pretty strongly that in High School she will want to date some spikey haired, earing wearing punk who needs a smack. Call it Karma.

Shannon,
OMG I cannot belive it!! I am so happy for you both. Parenthood is the most rewarding but also the most trying time of your life. Anyway, I have lost your email address-- long story... So that's why you've not heard from me. The house building thing has also kept us BUSY!!!! You know birthing babies is what I do, so if you need anything, please let me know. I know everyone tells you to get the 'What to Expect' book but there is a book that's better. It's called 'Your pregnancy week by week' It's amazing so check it out! Take care...Let me know if you need anything. Not sure if you have my email--- cmercer@bellsouth.net
Congrats & be thankful that you are not sick!! I don't think it's fair though! JK!!
