16 Week Checkup

There are no ultrasound pictures to go along with this OB visit, but we had a good visit anyway.  We, meaning me and this little baby, as I’ve just decided it is easier to leave the boys behind at this point :)  They got to have fun with Daddy instead.  I was pretty nervous about this appointment because I felt Elijah move at 14 weeks with certainty and consistency, and while I think I may have felt a couple kicks here and there this time, I just haven’t been sure.  Sure enough, though, he/she seems just fine.  Heart rate was in the 130s to 140s which is the slowest of any of my babies (but still normal) which led Dr. Million to say maybe it is a nice peaceful girl.  She must have forgotten about that unofficial 12 week ultrasound that she did that showed something protruding between the babies legs!  You never know, though, and while Josiah finally accepted that it might be a boy, he’s reverted back to calling it “her” and “Valerie” :)  We’ll know for sure at our next visit, so stay tuned!
