Just wanted to put up a short post following my monthly check up with the obstetrician this morning (I am 15 weeks along this Saturday, or almost 4 months, however you want to look at it). Ryan has been with me for all of the appointments but unfortunately he could not be there today as he is working in Bowling Green this week. I invited my Dad to go with me so he could meet the doctor and hear the heartbeat.
My blood pressure was normal and I had gained a ½ pound since my last appointment – so far, I’ve only gained 1 ½ pounds in this pregnancy, which I’m pretty happy about, but I’m sure that will change before too long! The doctor reviewed my last ultrasound and blood work from the first trimester screening and said everything looked great. She measured my stomach, though there is not really much there to measure, and then used the Doppler so we could hear the heartbeat, which was very strong. Dr. Kuntz also confirmed that she will perform an ultrasound at next month’s appointment on December 6, at which time we will be able to learn if the baby is a boy or girl. It is safe to say that the next four weeks are going to go so slowly because we are so excited to find out what we are having!

The time will go faster than you think - especially with Thanksgiving and then Christmas shopping! My totally uneducated, based on nothing guess is BOY! Colin needs a playmate!!
I don't know....it seems to be going by so slowly. Rachel keeps telling me I should come up to Boston in a couple of weeks and she'll do an ultrasound herself to see if it is a boy or girl! It's tempting, but I don't think I could justify it!
I have no clue.....for every person that guesses boy, another guesses girl. I've had two gender dreams - one boy and one girl - but the boy dream was much clearer. Of course, who knows if dreams mean a hill of beans. I used to think it would be a boy, but now I'm starting to think girl - see, I'm going to be in agony the next 4 weeks!!
I am sure that your dad loved being there! Just stay busy the next few weeks.
