16 Weeks

I am 16 weeks or 4 months along!! I can not believe it!! This week my stomach has kind of popped and you can see a little bump. Before you could feel a hard bulge if you pushed on it, but now you can see it. However, if you don't know I am pregnant, I just look really fat :(, so it's kind of an awkward stage. But it's so fun to be able to "feel" the baby. Stephen loves to feel my stomach.

I had a doctors appointment this aftenoon that went great. I lost 4 pounds from my last appointment. it figures that the one time in my life where I can justify eating whatever I want and I have no appetite! But I suppose it is a good thing, because I really don't need to gain a lot of weight during my pregnancy.

Dr. Bruce went over my blood work from my last appointment and said my blood type is A negative. Being negative is rare so you assume the baby is positive. If my body recognizes this, it may reject the baby, so I will have to get a shot at 28 weeks and at birth to prevent this. Other than that, my bloodwork looked great. My vitamin D is low, so I have to take a vitamin D supplement and she also put me on calcium.

Then I got to hear the heartbeat. It took her a while to find it, but it was so neat to hear once she did. It was slow, around 120-130, just like last time. So I am counting on a boy!!

We go back March 15th for the big reveal!! Will Baby P be a boy or girl? I can't wait to find out!!
