Doctor's Appointment...16 week checkup

So hubby didn't come with me to this appointment because I knew it would be a quick appointment and he heard baby's heartbeat the day prior so we did find it necessary. So anyways, my daddy called me that morning to see how I was doing and wanted to know if I needed a ride to the appointment or if I was up to driving. I told him I would call him back when I woke from my nap. Well I was feeling a whole lot better than the previous day so I told him I would drive myself.



So when I got to my appointment the nurse took my weight and I saw 137 on the screen and got extremely excited! I said, "DO I WEIGH THAT NOW?" And she said yes and I replied, YAYYYY! I was so happy that I gained a total of 5 lbs.

Side note:

I was so nervous that I wasn't eating enough and

 when I only gained 1 pound from my 8 weeks to 

my 12 weeks checkup appointment, I just knew I 

was doomed. But doctor said I was fine and by next 

appointment she wanted to see me gain 

like 4 lbs so that's why I was extremely happy

So anyways, I went into the room and the nurse went to check baby's heartbeat. As she was checking the baby started to move and she asked me if I felt that and I said no, and then baby moved again and she said did you feel that and again I said no and then she told me that my baby was kicking. I was so happy and I asked her when would I start to feel the baby and she said within the next couple of weeks. So that was more exciting news to know that baby was still kicking and moving and having a grand time even though I hadn't been feeling the best lately. 

The doctor came in and said OH MY you've been through so much since we last saw each other, and I was like YUP. But it's a blessing that God continues to heal my body and He's always taking care of Sweet Pea. So doctor did an exam and sure enough the anitbiotics caused me to have a yeast infection so she prescribed more medicine. I was thinking OH NO, am I doomed for those side effects also. So I told her I was excited for next appointment when we get to find out baby's gender. Speaking of which, hubby and I are going to have the tech write on a piece of paper and put into an envelope what the gender is and we are going to find out the next day. The reason is because we met one another on April 27 2008 so I thought it would be wonderful to celebrate our 5 year anniversary with exciting news such as that. We are both excited and can't wait...26 more days to go. 

I was taking a nap on Saturday and my hubby came in there and woke me up and said, I think we are having a boy. At the time, I didn't give a rat's behind what he thought, I was taking a nap lol. (I'm MEAN when I'm asleep) So I told him to leave me alone and I went back to sleep. When I woke up, I asked him what made him change his mind and he said, IDK I just have this feeling. I said well honey, you said you had a feeling we were having a girl lol. So I guess we will see which team we are on...TEAM BLUE OR TEAM PINK
