16 week belly

I went to the doctors on Friday... my regular OB and they listened to the heartbeat and she told me everything was normal, the heartbeat, my weight gain (which does not feel normal, it feels like too much), the headaches, and the sharp pains I get when I stand up too fast or lift my legs to get dressed.

Next Saturday is the 3D 4D ultrasound.. I can't wait to see my cute little baby again :)

Here's my belly at week 16. The baby is the size of an avocado but it sure seems like more...

We have a secret!

I had a doctors appointment today. This one is to check on my cervix to make sure I don't need a stitch. I have to go every 2 weeks until week 24... fun! The doctor told me everything looked good, and I probably won't need a stitch but they just want me to come every 2 weeks to be on the safe side. He also told me what the sex of the baby is. :) Jason and I decided that we are going to keep it a secret for the most part and just tell family until next weekend when we do the 3D 4D ultrasound... next weekend I will post pictures and we will make the big announcement. Sorry, you have to wait.

Another doctors appointment tomorrow at my regular OB. This baby is keeping me busy!

Monkey See Monkey Do

So I am determined to decorate the baby room with some kind of monkey. My nickname when I was little was monchichi (I probably spelled that wrong) which is a baby monkey, and I have always LOVED monkeys. I think they are cute and the baby decorations with monkeys are adorable.

I went on a little online shopping spree today so I can decorate the baby room. Here is what I bought :) I tried to get things as gender neutral as possible so the next baby could use it too.

a valance
decals for the wall 
wall hangings 
a rug  isn't the monkey cute?!
and a changing table 

I can't wait to get the room looking all cute. I guess we should probably paint the door and put doors on the closet too. :)

Pictures of the baby

I went to the doctor today and the baby is actually looking like a baby now.

They also told me that I have an abnormal shaped uterus   It looks like a normal uterus but it has a dip or indentation at the top.  The doctor said it could mean that the baby comes prematurely. They are going to have me come in every 2 weeks to make sure I don't need a "stitch", whatever that means.

Bump pictures

This is my belly at 8 weeks.

This is my belly at 12 weeks.
These aren't the best pictures because I took them infront of a mirror in a dim room with a flash. When it actually starts looking like a baby bump I will have Jason take the picture with my good camera. Right now I just feel like I'm fat... it's probably all the food im eating.. nom nom nom
