1st Prenatal Visit

Went for my first prenatal visit and everything went awesome! Found out I only gained about 3 pounds (but this was an appt after lunch, so....). All my vitals are good, the vampires took lots of blood, and finally heard the baby's heartbeat! It was really weird knowing there is something living in me! The heartbeat was strong and around 170-173. Isn't there some wives tale that a high heart rate is a girl?! It's starting to feel a little more real, but I guess once I feel the baby kicking or moving, it will sink in totally. So, now comes all the fun stuff....finding a pediatrician, daycare, no question about birthing---I'm taking the epidural!! Thanks to my sister-in-law, I found out what happens down there! Love ya Marcy! So any advise, experiences or what I need for the baby so when registration comes around for fun kid stuff, I'd appreciate it! Until then, I'm feeling great, and will keep you posted!
