Mother & Baby

This morning was another doctor's appointment!  The 16 weeks (and 4 days!) along appointment went fairly well.  First up, another trip to the business office for some financial planning.  Then, right in to see Dr. Ashmun!

 Dr. Ashmun asked how I had been doing, which aside from last week's headache and fever, has been great!  We chatted about normal pregnancy things, including diet and exercise, pains and being tired.  I have only gained 1.5 pounds in the last four weeks!  That's exciting news! 

Up next, we checked out Baby Bean with the fetal heart monitor.  I love hearing that whoosh-whoosh of baby's heart beat!  Baby's heart beat was still in the 160's and sounded wonderful.

Since Waverly had a rash a couple weeks ago, we thought it best to run some blood work to be sure Mommy and Baby Bean were all okay.  It was off to the lab for me!  After that fun stuff, I was finished for the day!

 The next doctor's appointment is scheduled for Tuesday, August 9th!  This will be a big day, since we are scheduled for an ultrasound.  Everyone, guess your guesses!  If all goes as planned and baby isn't camera shy, we will find out if its a boy or a girl!  Waverly will be thrilled with a baby brother or sister, but I just can't wait to tell her!
