18 weeks!


Sorry I have not posted in a while. I have been so busy! I guess the biggest news is that I feel the baby move!!! It is such an amazing feeling! I am really loving this part of the pregnancy. I feel really good. I am sleeping really good (well except for some really strange dreams). I am eating well. Work has been good. About two weeks ago I floated to the OB floor! It was so much fun I got to take care of women who had C-sections and got to hear their stories! It was exciting to be working on the floor that I would be giving birth on in about 5 months! I got into cleaning last week before my parents came down for the weekend and I started cleaning out some closets to make room for baby! We are still thinking about moving before summer but if that doesn't work out I still have to make room! My parents (Grandma and Grandpa) came down this weekend it was fun because they had not seen me since I got my bump. I think it made it more real for everyone. This week is busy. Today we went to our 18 week OB appt. Never even saw the Doctor cuz she as delivering twins. It was ok though because everything has been good. The heart rate this time was 160! It also sounded like it was moving so that was cool to hear. My bump measured at 15-16weeks and she that is normal for a first time mom. I gained 10 pounds since I found out I was pregnant.. She said that was normal too she ranged it from 10-15lbs give or take being normal. We were really happy that I was right on track. Friday I see my electrocardiologist. Next Tuesday the 9th we see the high risk OB and get a 3D ultrasound! Then next Friday the 12th we have our hospital official ultrasound. That's two times I get to see baby in one week. So we will be finding out the sex next week for sure! We can't wait, although it is fun to hear what everyone is speculating. Make your guesses quick! Well that's all I can think of for now. I will keep you posted after our appts next week. Here a some baby bump picks the one in white is from 17 weeks and the one in Brown in from just yesterday!
