16 Weeks Tomorrow!!!

Wow It really seems like the time is just flying by now. Tomorrow I will be 16weeks and all seems to be going very well. Last week we had out 15 week cervix check and my cervix measured a 4.33cm which the nurse told us was very good. It looked long and closed exactly as we would want it to be. Daddy asked the nurse if she would take a quick peek to see if we could see if BB was a boy or a girl. Low and behold she got a great shot and confirmed BB was girl. I was SO EXCITED i cant wait for a little mini me:) We have decided on Paige and already bought a few outfits for her. I decided on the glider, and furniture as well as the bedding. Daddy & I picked out some paint chips for the color on the walls and will begin to finalize on a color after the 18 week scan. I think I am showing more now although sometimes my belly looks bigger than others. I think my belly button is getting ready to pop soon as it is getting smaller and smaller:)
We will go home to Rhinebeck on 10/24 for Dana's shower and to register for BB. I think my Rhinebeck shower will be 12/27.
Movement: I feel things now that are def. not gas and not liagment pain. I think it is movement. Sometimes it feels like a pop sometimes it feels like there is a bug in my tummy swimming around. Either way everytime I feel it, it puts a huge smile on my face.
So many things going on I will keep you posted
We love you Paige grow big and strong for Mommy & Daddy. I truly cant wait for the day when we get to meet you face to face
Love
Mommy

14 weeks 2 days UPDATE!!!

Yesterday was our 14 week appointment. Of course I was nervous and had to use the bathroom 2 times before we even saw the doctor LOL!!! The news was all good here is a recap of what we found out:
1 gained 5 pounds (which the doctor says is healthy)
blood pressure: good
All blood work including the Nuchlar Trans. testing came back negative!! WOOHOO We will have more testing done at 18 weeks however the percentages went from 1/700 to 1/26,000
Doctor Fraas felt my uterus from the outside and said it feels great. It is exactly where it needs to be for 14 weeks.
Heartbeat: 155 bpm (we also heard movement again........this is the best thing ever)
Daddy thinks i am crazy but of course i had to ask if the decrease in heartbeat is anything to be concerned with. Dr. Fraas confirmed it is not. All heartbeats in the 120-160 range are healthy.
Specs: Dr tells me NOT TO WORRY (easier said than done) although i have not seen them in 3 days now.
Movement: 19 weeks i should start to feel something
I think that was pretty much it.
I left the office on cloud nine once again.
Keep up the good work BB and please start to show more as i want "look pregnant" and not just FAT:)
Hugs
Mommy
