16 Weeks

I was telling Hien today that today was the first day I don't feel fat anymore - I just feel pregnant. Yeah! Feeling good and more energy these days. I am reading a book called "Husband Coached Childbirth" by Dr. Bradley and love it. It is making me feel more confident and not so scared of the birth process. I am not having food cravings at least for now. But I do eat a lot of watermelon. I buy one a week and usually eat it all in 3 days. I LOVE IT.

Today was our 16 week appointment at the birth center. This was our first visit with Valerie(one of the three of our midwives). Now we have met all three of our midwives. Our appointments so far are mostly about us bringing in questions that we have, checking glucose levels and hearing the heartbeat on the doppler. I love that I can ask as many questions as I have - which I always have a handful of. :)

Listening to the heartbeat again - probably my favorite thing we do at our appointments.

Her heartbeat was so strong and fast - timing in at 140 beats per minute. It is so amazing and comforting to hear it.

Valerie and I. She was personable, easy to talk to and fun because she was enthusiastic about us and our baby.
