16 Week Appointment

Had another doctor's appointment on Monday (March 12). Nearly 16 weeks now. Kind of frustrating.. I peed in a cup, got weighed, got my blood pressure checked.. then sat and waited for my doctor for a good 35 minutes. She stepped in the room, informed me that she immediately had to leave as she'd just been paged to tend to a patient who was about to begin pushing.. and left. She had a nurse come in to go over my previous visit's bloodwork results - all perfectly good.. and listen to the baby's heartbeat via doppler.

Ok, so not getting to ask her any of the questions I had written down or get a proper exam or anything else sucked... but I got to hear the baby's heartbeat again. There's just nothing like the sound of it. Like.. all worries and concerns disappear when I hear that sound and know everything's ok.

Anyway.. I'm scheduled for my 20 week ultrasound April 10th. That's insane. Next time I'm at the doc's I'll be halfway through the pregnancy. And.. if I want and if the baby is cooperating and in the right position, will be able to know the sex. Still think I'm going to wait until I actually deliver.. just feel like it'd be spoiling the surprise to find out halfway through my pregnancy. I can't believe that's next month though??????? That's crazy.

Sean might be able to make it. April 10th is a Tuesday that falls between two races.. so he may fly back for one day just to attend the appointment and see and hear the ultrasound. Not entirely sure yet and obviously it all hinges on him getting the visa.

Haha.. my bump is getting harder and bigger. I think it'll be awhile yet before I'm properly showing.. but it's definitely growing. The next 2 months I think will go fast with moving out of the apartment at the end of the month, moving into my mom's, the start of the race season, and finding out whether or not Sean will be able to be here.
