We had my 16 week doctor's appointment. It was quick and easy. She listened to the heartbeat with the doppler. While she was able to locate it this time, she kept losing it. The baby appeared to be moving all around while she was trying to get a heartbeat. Once she finally got it in a spot where Baby Upp stopped moving, she said it was 154 beats per minute, which is right where it should be. She also commented on my weight gain - hmph. She said that I had gained barely any up until my 12 week appointment and that I made up for it between my 12 and 16 week appointment. She said I'm right where I need to be. She gave me a referral to get my big 20 week ultrasound/scan. This is where I go to a radiology place and they do like an hour long ultrasound measuring everything, looking at the heart closely, etc. They can also tell us the GENDER at this ultrasound! Yay!! So as soon as we got in the car I called and made that appointment. Typically, my doctor said she likes to have these appointments between 19 - 20 weeks, but my appointment is a Friday so I'll actually be 18 weeks and 6 days. Oh well, what's 1 day! So that appointment is scheduled for August 28. I can't wait to see our little baby again on the screen, and find out the gender! After that, I have my 20 week appointment on September 1 with my doctor.
Week 16 pictures: (I think this picture makes me look bigger than I am. Not sure if it is the dress or the way my hand is, but I don't have that big of a bump. Plus it's the end of a night after I ate a lot at a wedding :)
