October 30th Dr. Appointment.....

I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and I have almost gained a whole pound now! Dr. Hodges gave me a high five when his nurse reported the gain. He has a feeling I am going to be on the low-end of gaining weight, unless I really pack on the pounds in the last three months. He let me listen to the heartbeat and we found the placenta is facing outward of my belly so that is preventing me from feeling any movement at this point and it may cause issues when trying to do the fetal scan in a few weeks, so hopefully it will move a little bit at that point, if not we will have to wait a little longer and try again. Other than that everything else is good, the heartbeat is still fast and strong.

17 Weeks!

Gosh, the whole pregnancy is going by so fast. I have a hard time keeping up with this. My pregnancy journal is still in it's original packaging, I need to get a move on! I am taking a baby sign language class tonight through one of our local hospitals, but I don't know if we will do it. I am using it for my final senior paper.

Upcoming events: I have a doctor's appointment Tuesday, October 30, just for an exam, nothing exciting. It will be the first appt Jeff will miss.

We scheduled our "big" ultrasound for November 16. We get to see what the baby looks like and what the sex is....so very exciting. But we haven't decided if we will tell everyone then, or wait until Christmas and announce it.

And yes, I promise to post a picture of my belly very soon, maybe I will take another one since the last one was two weeks ago, so much is changing.....

September 28th Appointment.....

We met with our doctor today, and we got to listen to the heartbeat. We could not believe how fast it was compared to my heartbeat. The doctor said everything looks good and healthy. I have another appointment at the end of the month and we should find out the sex of the baby then or at another appointment soon after. I am 15 weeks now and they usually tell the sex between 16-20. So hopefully it will be very soon.
