Baby #2, stats, pictures, old wives tales...guesses anyone?

Okay, now that I am finally showing (quite a bit), I figured I would do a post all about baby #2.  We, of course, decided not to find out the sex of the baby until he/she arrives in April...but that means that we have a couple months to get a guessing game going of what's the sex, what date will baby arrive,  how much will baby weigh, and how long will baby be :)

We have been blessed with another wonderful pregnancy.  Everything has been going great, baby is growing well, kicking up a storm (mainly at 3am and 7pm), seems to already push back on Ava if she is leaning too much on my belly, and making me look like I have a basketball tucked under my shirt.  We are so very blessed!  I am constantly in awe of God's design - it is truly a miracle to see all the changes that my body is undergoing while another little life is growing inside me.

For those of you who wish to guess, I will help by providing some information for an educated guess.  I will say that this pregnancy has been quite similar to my pregnancy with Ava, so here are some stats:

	Pregnancy #1 (Ava)	Pregnancy #2
Morning Sickness	No	No
Cravings	Sweets	Sweets
Baby's heartrate	120-145	148-160
Weight gain	steady	same as #1
Belly shape	round, out front	round, out front

As you can see, the main difference is the heartrate...but, with Ava my doctor's appointments were always in the morning and baby#2 has always been in the afternoon...so who knows?

I've done a couple gender prediction quizzes online, the ones that use all the different old wives tales to predict the gender.  But, like my pregnancy with Ava, they always come back with the results: "Congratulations, you have a 50% chance of having a girl and 50% chance of having a boy!" ... so no insight there.

I am now 29 weeks along, so I figured I should post some pictures of my belly (considering I have some decent ones of my belly from when I was 29 weeks pregnant with Ava).

And just one more of the pointy belly for fun :)

So let the guessing games begin!! :) 

For the record, Ava was 6lbs. 3 oz.(2.8kg) and 18.5 inches long (47cm)
