16 weeks! (with bump pic)

We have made it to 16 weeks!  I can't even really believe it!  I had my 16 weeks appt with the OB today and everything still looks great.  We have a little jumping bean on our hands.  Every ultrasound someone comments on how flippy and floppy baby G is.  Today was no different.  S/he is still flipping and flopping and wiggling around.  Maybe it is all the zumba I have been doing.  ha ha. 

HB is still a nice, strong 160 bpms.  They don't normally do an ultrasound at this appt, but the OB had a student with him and he wanted to show her the ultrasound equipment so we got to do one!  Between my MFM and OB we have gotten to see the LO about every 2-3 weeks so far and I love it! 

I feel so much better about not being able to find the HB on the home Doppler after today's appt because the OB had a hard time finding it and keeping it too.  Probably from all the flipping and moving.  But when we saw the ultrasound the baby's heartbeat was just beating away.  No worries.  I was starting to feel like a failure at the whole Doppler thing. 

I CANNOT wait until July 3 when we go back to the MFM and get to find out if we are team blue or pink!  EEK!  My OB scheduled our a/s with him for July 22nd.  I am glad I don't have to wait that long.  YAY for the MFM. 

Overall, I am feeling good.  Working out 5-6 days a week which is helping me stay energized! 


I haven't done one of these in a while, so here we go.

Best moment last couple of weeks. Starting to buy nursery furniture and picking out paint colors!

Food cravings: The pizza craving has returned with full force.  mmmmm, pizza.

What I am looking forward to: Finding out what team we are!  AH!  I am so excited!   

Milestones: Starting to be able to feel the baby.  It isn't much and it isn't very often, but it almost makes me cry every time.  Every day I am so thankful and amazed that we are here.  

And last, but not least . . . a bump pic.   If you look close you can almost see a little baby bump forming!  Yay!
