Appointment & Feeling Baby
posted on 09/21/2008
I was 16 weeks this past Friday (September, 19th). I have been feeling great and my belly is really starting to pop out. :) I had a doctor's appointment on Thursday. It was unscheduled but I had started spotting on Wednesday and wanted to go in and double check that the baby was doing fine.....and he/she was doing great. The heartbeat was right at 150 bpm. It was funny though because my doctor had a hard time keeping up with the baby. She asked if I felt the baby move and I told her I thought so. She wasn't surprised because she had such a hard time keeping the heartbeat on the doppler. This appointment just confirmed what I have been thinking since 15 weeks....that I can feel the baby move. This little one is seriously on the go between 8 and 10 in the morning and then starts back up at 7pm. It is crazy how active this one is and how I can already feel him/her. I love the feeling.
We are starting to tell Presley that there is a baby in Mommy's belly. I don't think she understands quite yet. She just repeats "baby" and goes off to find her little baby.
In less than two weeks we find out what we are having. I am so excited. I can't wait to start the planning process. Like I have said in early posts I do believe this is a little girl; however, I have been telling Wes that small thoughts of a boy have been entering my mind lately. We shall see.
