16 Week Doctor's Visit

I went to the doctor today for my 16 week visit. I finally remembered to bring a book with me and I was really happy that I did because when I walked in the waiting there was a TON of people there. There were ever a few couples in there and everyone knows when you see couples in this kind of doctors office they are usually pregnant. I remember thinking awww...it seems like just yesterday Andrew and I were in here waiting to see our baby for the first time. I really did not wait as long as I thought I was going to have to. Just a few minutes. They took me back and checked my weight (another 4 lbs), checked my blood pressure. I asked them if they could check my iron level because I had been feeling really tired lately so they pricked my finger. They also had to draw some blood for the second part of the genetic birth defects testing (which I did not realize). I hate getting my blood drawn, but luckily the veins cooperated!! I then went back to see the doctor. The doctors office I go to is a team of doctors that you rotate through throughout your pregnancy. So this time I saw a new doctor. He was really nice! I laid down on the table so that he could find Everett's heartbeat. Now if you remember, at my last appointment my doctor had some trouble finding the heartbeat and I more or less freaked out so I was a little nervous about that being the case this time. Well there was no trouble this time! As soon as he put the thing on my belly there was the heartbeat! He said it was beating really fast and was beating at about 160bpm! He asked if we were going to find out the sex of the baby at our next appointment and I told him that we actually already knew. He said,"What is it? A girl?" I guess because the heartbeat was so fast. I said nope it's a boy! I guess our boy just has a fast heartbeat! So he scheduled me for my next appointment in 3 weeks and told me that I can bring a DVD-R in so they can record the session. I think I may do that even though we just got one because Andrew will not be able to be there (he can't get off work). But I am glad that everything seems to be going so well and that our little boy is healthy! Well, that is it for now! I will post some more soon!
