16 Week OB Appointment

AUNTIE SHANNON GOT TO SEE THE BABY!!

Today was my 16 week OB appointment and Shannon took me since I was having blood drawn and can sometimes be a wimp. I have to admit that I am getting better. I do fine as long as I do not see the needle or anything related to the process, before, during, or after. This is good for me since I usually get all worked up just thinking about it and knowing it is being done!! Yay for three blood draws with no fainting!! Guess I am not the baby anymore, this little one in me is!!

We did not think the doctor was going to do an ultrasound, but he said "Why not?" and has the machine right there in the office, so I think we may be fortunate enough to see the baby every appointment. We scheduled the next appointment for February 2nd!! And this is the BIG one where the Dr. will try and see if we are pink or blue!!!

As soon as we hear back from the insurance regarding an approval code, we will make the appointment for the comprehensive ultrasound at the Radiology office. This is the one where they check and make sure the baby is developing fine, that the spine is fine, facial structure etc. We are going to try and have this on the same day as mommy and daddy are both playing hooky from work in hopes of a BOY or GIRL verdict ceebration!!!!

I am going to start taking monthly pictures of my belly starting on Saturday, which is the 16 week mark. :) Daddy will have to assist. :)

More soon!! Also, the latest print ups of the Ultrasound were not very spectacular but I will post them as soon as I get 'em scanned!
