150 BPM

We had our first appointment with our OB this morning. Normal stuff, nothing really exciting. We did get to hear the heartbeat again, and were informed that it was 150 beats per minute.
"Looks like it might be a girl", is what our OB said. This is now the 3rd piece of junk science that has told us we should plan on painting our nursery pink.
The fallacy of the "above 140 bpm=GIRL, below 140 bpm=BOY" can be found here:
Fetal Heart Rate and Gender Prediction
We'll keep this on the blog, unless it is born a boy (we wouldn't want him to think he was meant to be a girl).
