16 week check-up

Tuesday we had our 16 week check-up with Dr. Moss. It was a really quick appointment, just going over the results from my extensive bloodwork and hearing about how much this little tyke's prenatal care/birth/postnatal care are going to cost us.

For some reason, maybe because I'm crazy, I was worried that we weren't going to hear the baby's heartbeat again. I know that we are supposedly out of the danger zone, but knowing someone who had a miscarriage at 14 weeks, it still haunted me. Luckily we heard a strong and steady heartbeat, still slow, so Dr. Moss is still holding to her guess that it's a boy--James is elated.

Our next appointment is the "big one"--ultrasound, sex, getting to see how well our baby is developing. I feel pretty confident that I felt the baby move yesterday while I was teaching, so I'm sure that those flutterings will become more frequent and stronger soon. So much to look forward to!
