Four Months

I am nearing the 16 week mark on Thursday!! Yahoo! That means I'm almost half way there!! We had a little scare last week and I went to the doctor...that is where the sonogram came from. (See pictures.) Everything is fine now. It was pretty exciting seeing the little guy in there. The two ladies doing the sonogram both commented on how active the baby was! I could see the arms and legs moving all over the place. According to the measurements, the baby is a big 3 oz, about the size of a lemon. Heart rate was at 143. Both of the women thought that they saw "something"...but said not to go out and buy up a bunch of blue stuff just yet! I have kind of thought it was a boy from the very beginning...but I guess time will tell. I have my 18 week appointment on May 4th and another sonogram is scheduled for that day. I am hoping that they will be able to tell me 100% sure if it is a boy or girl. Stay tuned!

2nd Trimester

Went to the doctor for my monthly check-up on Friday. Everything seems to be going great. I weigh more right now then I have ever weighed in my entire life...but don't really feel like it yet. I recorded the baby's heart beat on my cell phone so I can listen to it whenever I like. The baby is about the size of a lemon right now. It's about 3 1/2 inches long from the top of the head to the bottom and weighs approx. 1 1/2 oz. I won't be able to find out if it is a boy or a girl until about the middle of May. I am so anxious. I started looking at all the different ideas for decorating. There are millions to choose from. I saw some cute little black and white cows that I am a little partial too. Might be pretty cool considering Daddy is on the Cowtown Cycling Team.
