short & sweet.

we had our 12 week doctor's appointment today and i'm happy to say it was nice and boring!  no u/s but the doctor did check the heartbeat (on my belly, so exciting!).  heart rate is in the 160's so it's calmed down a bit since last week which i've heard is normal, but i'm still banking on it being a girl!

we find out the gender on september 30, a few days before our 1 year anniversary :)  what we plan on doing is going to the appointment on friday in the morning, and then leave from there to go to savannah, ga for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary.  my parents hooked us up with two nights at the sheraton for $100 (thanks again mama and papa g!).  at our doctors appointment, we aren't going to find out the sex. we will tell the doctor to write it down and seal it in an envelope.  when we arrive in savannah, we will stop at a local cupcake shop and tell them our situation.  they then will look in the envelope, frost a cupcake according to the gender (obviously blue=boy and pink=girl).  i'll make sure they package it up really tight and secure so we can't see anything!  then we will go out to dinner and after we are done eating, open up the cupcake together to enjoy our sweet surprise :)  it's gonna be awesome!
