16 week appointment

I had my 16 week appointment this morning. Aside from me writing down that the appointment was at 9:00 and arriving at what I thought was on time to discover that my appointment was actually at 8:30, everything went great!

I've gained about 2lbs so far this pregnancy, so the midwife was pleased with that. After my weekly progesterone shot, she got out the doppler and was able to find the baby's heartbeat right away! It was 140 bpm, and very strong and steady. Everything seems to be progressing well.

Before I left, I made my next appointment, which will include our "big" ultrasound where we will hopefully find out if a boy or girl will be joining our family. May 13th can't get here fast enough!

so exciting! why are you getting the weekly shots?

The shots in first trimester were to help keep the pregnancy viable, and now I have them through week 36 to help prevent pre-term labor, since Nathan came early.
