We hit the 15 week mark yesterday and had our OB check this afternoon. It took her quite awhile to find the heartbeat this time (meanwhile, I was holding my breath); she said baby was being a stinker, moving from one side of the uterus to the other. Once she got a lock on the heartbeat, baby moved closer to the "microphone" and it got louder. So. I am having a ninja baby who is going to like being the center of attention? Good to know; will help me prepare. It was just funny. I kept cracking up because every time she'd hear a little something, Nugget would move and she'd have to find him/her again! And every time I'd laugh, it made the doppler sound all wonky!
And now for me. I've gained 4 pounds since the last appointment 4 weeks ago. 1 pound per week...not too shabby! The nurse told me I'm doing just fine; and I'm sure they won't be shy if they have to tell me to back off the ice cream! Proteins and glucose levels all good; BP superb.
On another note, my brother predicted I'm going to have a girl who weighs 9 lbs. 4 oz., 20 3/4". We'll see about that, won't we! :)
