I have offically gained 6 lbs, although I feel like the nurse can't read the scale. I'm pretty sure she knocked off a few pounds. I'm thinking I'm more around the 8-10 mark. I have really been enjoying this no dieting thing. Especially now that I can eat more than soup without wanting to throw up everywhere.
I'm feeling so much better each week (except for the headaches). I definetly have a belly although it changes size daily. I'm about to the point where I need maternity clothes. The belly band has been working great the past couple of weeks, but not so much anymore.
Here I am yesterday, 16 weeks and 1 day.

| Stu wanted in on the action. |
Barry and I had our 16 week doctors appointment yesterday. I love going to the doctor right now becuase I always feel so much better after I hear the babies heartbeat. When you can't feel them moving, it can get scary.
But look how cool the doctor's office building is. This is Memorial Hermann Hospital, they just finished this highrise a couple of years ago. My doctor is on the 21st floor, and labor and delivery is on 4 (I think).
This appointment was not scheduled to have a sonogram, but I begged. I said "I haven't seen the baby since week 8 and I can't feel it, so that is scary. Plus I don't know if it has all its extremeties, the last time we saw it, it looked like a gummy bear. I would really like to see if we could find out the sex of the baby". The nurse was not happy with me, but she still asked the doctor and the doctor agreed!!
So we now know that we are having a BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Barry was so so so excited. There was some fist pumping in the doctors office. Now we just need to decide on a name. I think we have it narrowed down to two.
I have a picture of the peewee from the sonogram, but I wasn't able to wrestle it away from Barry. The picture is resting comfortably in Barry's wallet, so he can show everyone his boy's giant penis :)
Hopefully next week/sometime this weekend I can post it.
I just found out you were prego last week and now you already know the sex!! This is going too fast :) Congrats, congrats! Very exciting! Now our little guys can play together.
ReplyDeleteYeah! So exciting :) And you would beg to see it!! I'm not sure that my doctor's would have gone for that!! Haha!! So excited for you guys and that our little men can play together!!!
ReplyDeletePS I love that you are already talking about his penis
PPS I love that you have it narrowed down to 2 names with 24 weeks left. We are still in the "we have no clue" land on the name with 4 weeks left! Pass some of that decision making over here!!
