Big baby

So we had our four month doctors appointment today where we THOUGHT we were going to find out the sex of the baby. Looks like my skepticism about the 4-D ultrasound pictures will have to wait another month. We're supposed to find out the sex at the next appointment. And I was informed that the medical industry being used at my doctor's office made a leap in technology from recording on VHS tapes for ultrasounds to using....DVD's. Good thing too, I have a feeling it wasn't too long that they upgraded from Betamax to VHS so I feel like they're making great strides. However, we did find out that the baby's heart was beating about 150 beats per minute. If I believe in old wives tales, and I'm trying to decide if I do, that indicates it'll be a boy.

My posting yesterday has sparked more worry regarding baby clothes. I have a fear that we're going to get a lot of cute clothes, but they're all be in the six month old range. And babies grow pretty fast. I just have this image in my head of a baby ripping through clothes like The Hulk because he/she grows so fast. Instead of rippling muscles, it's rippling rolls of baby fat shredding clothes to bits. I don't want to see the baby angry, cause I have a feeling I wouldn't like it when it's angry. I was casually reassured by a friend that everything will be ok, and I'll get plenty of clothes. However, after that it's up to me. Maybe it won't be that our kid grows out of the clothes too fast. It'll probably be us who won't buy new clothes fast enough leaving the kid no choice but to rip out of it's clothes. Ugh...until next time.

  1. Well if it makes you feel any better our baby only has two outfits - a I LOVE my Mommy sleeper we got from the neighbors and a I LOVE my Daddy onsie I bought Zach when we first found out. I was telling my mom the other day we would switch between the two outfits - she of course had a cow and in the background of the phone I heard her frantically searching for her to do list. Of course adding clothes for the baby to it.

  2. Ask and you shall receive. Today we received in the mail half a dozen onsies from a cousin of mine. I've started buying onsies since I hear babies go through about 7 a day. My sister and I went clothes shopping a couple weekends ago to try and buy gender neutral outfits since we don't know what it is yet. Maybe our kid will just wear onsies...I'm laughing at your mom having a cow cause my mom would do the same, hahaha
