16 weeks!

I know it's been a while since we last posted a blog, so here we go again


Since Veteran's day not a lot has happened. We celebrated Thanksgiving by going to a friend's house for dinner. After Thanksgiving I worked on finishing my semester projects and ending the semester strong. My semester ended on December 12 and I have gotten 3 out of 4 grades back and they're all A's. The final one should be ready in a week or two.


This week, we had our 16 week appointment with a midwife and everything was going normally until she tried to find baby's heartbeat. Every time she got close, baby would kick the doppler machine and move away. After a few minutes, she gave up and went to get the ultrasound machine. She came back with another midwife and had her try to find it. Apparently by then the baby had gotten tired and wasn't moving around as much and she was able to find it after only a couple minutes, but she had to keep moving slightly to keep a hold on the heartbeat.


I have started to feel some movement and when the baby gets in just the right spot, Michael is able to feel it a little, too!


Our next appointment isn't until January 22, but it's the most exciting appointment (in my opinion): the ultrasound! We are planning on finding out the gender as long as the baby cooperates.


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
