I have found this article, it looks like heart rate does drop slightly the older baby gets.

Our heart rates vary depending on what we're doing at the time so I'd think it woudl be the same for baby? I.e. lower if resting, higher if bouncing about a bit... dunno but it would make sense to me.
Don't forget counting beats is only an estimate so you need to take room for error into account. And like the other girls say it is going to vary from day to day like our own heartbeats. Try not to worry hon, it sounds fine! Our wee bean counted at 137bpm too. 
If it helps, when my midwife monitored my baby's heartbeat a few weeks back, it was exactly 137 beats per minute, which she said was fine and well within the normal range. It varies all the time i imagine anyway, depending on how activve your baby is being. Or you could read more into that old wives tale about the bpm and boys and girls....!
