16 weeks

       Well in the past 16 weeks we have been to three doctors appointments and Hunter has been at every one of them. (he doesn't plan on missing an appointment) The first was was the first time we got to hear and see our baby. It was so amazing to see that little peanut on the screen and see the heart flicker. We were able to hear the heart beat. We confirmed our due date for November 8th. It was a great visit.
     The second visit at 12 weeks was much faster then the first. We got to hear the heartbeat and I was weighed and to my surprise I hadn't gained any weight yet. The heartbeat was strong around 160.
    The third visit was at 16 weeks. I made it through the first trimester! I gained about 4 pounds and the heartbeat was in the 150s.
   We bought a home doppler so we can hear the baby anytime since it is so hard waiting four weeks between appointments. We have our 20 week ultrasound on June 21 at 9:50am. We are so anxious and are counting down the days!

      This pregnancy has been pretty good so far. I was nauseous for about 6 weeks but it has gotten better. I still have some moments of nausea but its not very often. I am still very tired and take a daily nap but I am waiting for the energy they say you have in the second trimester. I am really loving being pregnant and knowing I have our child growing in me. Hunter is so excited about this baby and has been taking great care of me.
