16 week visit

Today, I went in for my 16 week visit (a few days early...I'm really still in my 15th week) today. Dr. S is headed for vacation tomorrow and I wanted to get in and be seen by her before she left rather than see someone else. My blood pressure was a very good (for me) 136/84. Not too shabby. The heartbeat was good and strong. I forgot to ask what it was exactly...but I heard it and that was good enough for me. Such a sweet sweet sound. My weight gain thus far is 3 lbs. Almost 16 weeks and 3 lbs is not bad at all. I'd probably gained 10 already (by this time in my pregnancy) with Sarah Kate.

All really is going well so far. I'm so thankful to God. All good things come from above. I know that full well. Dr S. did say that if all continues to go well that she'd plan on scheduling a c-section the week before my due date. But, that's a ways off. I did schedule our BIG ultrasound today though. So, hopefully on July 20th we'll find out what this little peanut is...boy or girl. I can hardly wait.
