Tonight is Halloween and we decided to make everything "Facebook official". All day I kept saying, "this news is going to go viral". haha! When I got home from work, I put on my owl mask and Rob took a family photo (including proud big sis Pecan Sandy) and we posted it to Facebook right away. The caption read "Whoooo is having a baby...the Hauck's are :)" I'm nothing if not clever. I was worried no one would see it because of trick or treat, but my phone started vibrating right away! Hooray Facebook! It's so weird to think that we even were able to tell everyone using social media..but handy too!
This picture is going viral!
In other baby news...went to the doctor on Tuesday. While waiting for a room to open up, Rob and I were huddled in the nurse cubicle. I was describing to him how nervous the crazy windy weather makes me. Wind is not your friend!!! He asked exactly what I was nervous about. I revealed that I was scared that the tree in front of the house would fall on the roof while we were at work and Pecan Sandy would somehow escape. I literally teared up and started crying! I guess my hormones are really whacked out right now! But our cat's one true desire is to live outside and hunt bugs full time...so you can see how this would terrify me. Thankfully the nurse rescued me and Rob (who was explaining the physics of the tree and how this would never happen anyway).
After just a few minutes, the doctor came in. She was so nice and said my blood pressure and weight gain were right on track. (Thank goodness because I have been hitting the popsicles, smoothies, flavored ice...pretty much anything cold real hard). She got out the doppler machine and we finally got to hear the baby's heartbeat! It was so weird and wonderful all at the same time. It sounded just like a gentle swooshing. I was worried the whole morning that it would be difficult for her to find...but almost right away we heard it. A steady 152 beats. Doctor also mentioned that this has nothing to do with gender (even though my mom would beg to differ). :) We left feeling great and looking forward to the next visit. Of course, I treated myself to some Wendy's too (Rob couldn't make our original lunch date because some work stuff came up...boo).
