16 weeks

I was 16 weeks on Tuesday. I can definitely tell a difference in my waist. Depending on what I wear - others can sometimes tell!

We had another appointment today. Baby G was cooperative and we were able to hear a heartbeat. What a neat sound. Apparently they say if the baby's heartbeat is over a certain number it is usually a girl and if it is under this number it is usually a boy. There are a couple of different numbers, but we'll go with 144 beats per minute. So the midwife said the heartbeat today is between 140 and 150. Guess that means we're having a baby!

We scheduled the "big" ultrasound for Aug. 28. I will be a little over 21 weeks, so the baby should be plenty developed to get all of the measurements that the dr. needs and hopefully cooperative enough to find out if we need to paint the nursery!

It's time to get some rest. Have a great weekend!
