17 1/2 Week Appointment

So we had another check-up on Peanut today. Everything is still going really well. Peanut?s heart rate is 150. My uterus is now measuring at 18. What a jump from 11, just four weeks ago. And I threw a little fit about the weight thing. If you remember last appointment I swore their scale was about 4-5 lbs off, when it said I had only gained 1 pound. Well at the time, I knew I had gained 5 pounds. So I threw a fit this time when she said I gained 9 pounds since my last appointment. The scale was obviously fixed, but in reality I gained 5 last month and 5 this month.

We have the ultrasound scheduled for next Wednesday. We can?t wait!!! I think Robin might join us. And I?m hoping we?ll be able to get it taped so my parents can see Peanut next weekend. We?re almost 99% sure that we?ll want to find out if Peanut will be wearing pink or blue. Since I can?t keep a secret, I?m sure the whole world will know by Wednesday night.

Kevin enjoys coming with me and hearing the heartbeat each month, even though the appointments aren?t really all that eventful. He?s such a good husband!!!

    Trust me, she is obcessed about the weight thing. We even have a scale on our Christmas wish list.

    It does seem however, that peanut seemed to “pop out” this week. From what I have read, the middle stages (where we are), often have the most radical changes (i.e. going from an alien frog in appearance, to something that looks a little more human).

    And yes, I do enjoy coming to the appointments, even fighting my way through construction traffic. Just hearing the thumping heartbeat is rewarding enough.

    Don’t forget to eat your chocolate before your ultrasound. Make sure that baby is moving so you can see all you want to see. Emily must have been shy back then, because they couldn’t tell me if she was a boy or girl any of the 3 times.
