16 weeks: Prenatal Appointment

Today was our 4 month prenatal appointment.  Daddy had a legal training on the death penalty in Golden this morning so he couldn't make it.  I dropped your brother off at school and then took the bus to the midwife office.  I met with Gina for the first time.  I love her, she reminded me of my favorite of O's midwives, Suzanne!  

Everything is going well.  She heard your heartbeat and you're still in the 150-160s.  You didn't like the little doppler too much and kept moving around when she placed it on you so it took a while before she could count your beats.  I made an appointment for next week to check on my placenta placement and then the 20 week ultrasound appointment which will actually be at 21 weeks since we won't be here that week.  So excited to see you again!

Octavio has been having little secret conversations with you lately.  I can't hear what he's saying to you most of the time since he comes up to my belly and whispers to you, but last night after we tucked him in, he came out into the hallway and said he needed to tell you something.  I went upstairs and I could hear him telling you, "tomorrow, we're going to get a meatball sandwich, cheetos and some soda."  Classic O there.  Hope you're having a good time little one, we're going to go on a hike in a little bit, sorry for all the moving around.  Love you!
