Check-Up

Yesterday I had my doctor's appt. Everything is right on track. My blood pressure is good and other tests look good, so that is a major blessing. Baby's heart rate was at a solid 148bpm. I gained a little more weight than I thought I had, but I guess that's okay. After not being able to eat for months, I find myself wanting to eat everything in sight so no wonder I gained some weight.

The most exciting news is my ultrasound is scheduled 2 weeks from Friday on November 5th!!!! I can't wait. We are praying for a healthy baby no matter what, but we are so excited to start calling and praying for this baby by name.

We do have two names picked out for sure. Both start with an H so the baby is referred to as Baby H for now. We are planning on sharing the name with everyone once we find out if its a boy or a girl.

On Friday night I was laying on the couch real still watching T.V. when I started to feel a lot of fluttering inside. I've felt these movements already but this time they were really distinct. Then all the sudden I felt 3 kicks one right after another. I just know it was the baby. Couldn't have been anything else. It was amazing. I felt a few more last night. I'm so thankful to be out of the yucky faze of pregnancy and the amazing part is starting.

I'll leave you with my 17 week belly shot and look for my post soon on the boy nursery design.
