Growing Grapefruit!

Also last Friday, we hit the 24 week mark, which puts us somewhere in the early stages of month six. Chicken Fry is growing rapidly these days. He/she's already the size of grapefruit and is getting closer and closer to being ready to survive (and thrive!) in the outside world. I have my 24 week check-up in about a half an hour. There's no ultrasound at this one, but I'll still get to hear Chickie's heartbeat, which I've so been looking forward to since my 20 week appointment ;) My mom is coming along with me, and I'm excited that she will be able to hear it, as well. I'm curious to hear how fast the heartbeat is this time. There's an old wives tale that says that if your baby's heartbeat remains above 140 bpm, it is likely that you are having a little girl. Back in January, Chickie's heartbeat was 154 bpm, so we'll see what it is today! Even if it's fast, that definitely doesn't guarantee anything. I've been doing my research, and plenty of women end up having little boys with fast heartbeats. At this point I have absolutely no idea - not even the slightest inkling - as to whether or not Chickie is a boy or a girl ... I will definitely be surprised come June, and I wouldn't have it any other way!
