16 week appointment

Ok peoples, here is the update on my pregnancy. We are almost 16 weeks...early next week to be exact. Anyhoo, back to the facts. Mom was going to watch Aidan so that he could continue his nap and not be woken up. Well, she ended up needing to take my Aunt Margaret down to Seattle to have her blood drawn at her doctors office because Evergreen Hospital wouldn't. Her doctor apparently doesn't have privileges at Evergreen. Anyhoo, he was awake when I went in to wake him up although I think he could have used a bit more sleep.

We get to the hospital with barely enough time for me to grab a Luna bar because it was "snack" time for me. Makenna (my friends daughter that I am watching all summer) helped by undoing Aid's seat belt. Aidan burst into tears because he wanted to do that and cried until we got to the gift shop for a few treats. The kids split a bag of skittles while I was good and ate a Luna bar instead of that Snickers bar that was screaming my name.

So we got to the office and finally was taken back to the room. Finally my midwife came in and she got paged while we were chatting about my sugars. She stepped out and came back in shortly after that. I asked all my questions and she wasn't concerned with anything. She then said let's get to the fun stuff!!! Listening to baby!! Well I have a stinker!! S/he wouldn't cooperate and it took a bit to find baby so that we could listen to his/her heart. When we finally did after a few minutes baby decided that s/he didn't like this listening to the heart business and kicked the doppler. Silly kid. I have a feeling this one is going to definitely express their mind and opinion.

Now for fun info, I have officially LOST, you heard correctly, 5.5 pounds. Baby's heart beat was at about 140 today to. So what does that mean...boy or girl?? We might never know!! I'm kidding we will know come January that's for sure. They didn't tell me my blood pressure but they said it was fine. SO overall everything and everyone is fine. Hope you are all doing as well!! Next appointment is ultrasound and 20 week appointment!
