16 (15.5) week appointment update

Well, we had our 16 week appointment yesterday (Friday the 13th)--actually 15 and 1/2 weeks.  Overall, the appointment went well.  It actually was the shortest appointment yet.  Baby's heartbeat was 155.  TJ wasn't able to attend this appointment, so my mom kindly agreed to join me so I wouldn't have to go alone.  I think she was pretty excited to get to hear the heartbeat, too.  Although I personally am disappointed in my weight gain (lack of) and that my belly isn't growing that much bigger yet, my doctor said she wasn't worried at all.  My friends who have either had babies or are currently pregnant tell me that it's normal to think your belly isn't growing and then one day it just pops out. 

Besides going to the appointment on Friday, my mom and I stopped by a garage sale.  Now, I really haven't been big into garage sales.  But, this one changed my outlook on them and I hope to attend many more throughout the rest of the spring and summer.  I found quite the deals!!!  I came home with a book of 40,001 baby names, a baby carrier, 2 hats, 4 outfits/body suits, and 16 onesies in various sizes and spent only $16!!! 

That's the update on baby.  The next appointment will probably be the most exciting and anticipated visit--the 20 week ultrasound.  It is scheduled for Friday, May 11, which means we will know just in time for Mother's Day, which I think is pretty special. We can't wait to find out if we will dress the baby in a Wonder Woman onesie or a Superman one. :-)    We will have to do some sort of voting right before the next appointment.  My friend Lexsea had a voting thing on her website during her pregnancy.  Maybe she can help me figure out how to put it on ours.  Hint Hint! :-) 

 

15 weeks, 5 days 

 

 My garage sale finds.  Yes, there is a pink onesie in there.  That doesn't mean anything.  It came in a package with other onesies and mom and I didn't see it at first.  Can't go wrong when I got 6 onesies packaged together--brand new I might add--for $.50!!  If we don't use the pink one this time around, we'll save it for future use.
