Wow, 16 weeks!!! That is so crazy. Some people say "4 Months", but it really doesn't work that way! I'm 16 weeks today, due 7/28/10, so, I'm due in like 5.5 months, the weeks don't really convert into months that well. Basically, I'm 16 out of 40 weeks, so I'm about 2/5 of the way there!! WOW!I've been feeling pretty well these days. No nausea, mild headaches, my appetite is coming back!! I went into the clinic yesterday for my quad screening. That is where they test your blood for possible genetic markers that could indicate some birth defects. Our family doesn't have any history, and I'm not worried at all. The screening is optional...I choose to do it because if there is a chance something was wrong, I would want to know, and prepare myself. You can never be too prepared!!! Part of the visit, of course, was a weight check. It was pretty good, I'm now 1.2 lbs over what I started at, so that's not too bad. Not too excited about gaining now, but it does come with the territory.
Now, I'll go back in 4 weeks for my next pre-natal visit, and hopefully schedule my ultrasound!! YAY, those are the best! So, we only have about a month to decide if we're going to find out baby's sex or not!!! So many pro's and con's to each, it's a tough decision!
Until tomorrow!!!
