16 week update

Well I had my 16 week checkup today. Everything is great. The baby's heartbeat was 144, convincing me even further that I am having a boy this go around. I lost 4 lbs, but didn't get into trouble. So that puts me still in the "no weight gain". I am just one of the lucky ones I guess. I did have to have a minor surgical procedure in the office due to another issue, but hopefully that will be resolving now. I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going by. It seems like just yesterday we were finding out we were even pregnant.
The highlight of todays visit was that we got to schedule our "BIG" ultrasound... So on Wednesday October 14th, we will find out what we are having!!!! I am so glad that Ran caved and decided he did want to find out. Unfortunately I did not find out in time to shop the big kids consignment sale, but will find out in time for Christmas village..hehe...
Off the subject but this morning I went and got my hair colored. It is a copper brown, with lots of red highlights, but I LOVE it....Ran loves it too. The reason I mention it is because the nurse at my Dr.s office even noticed..Does that mean she has seen me way too much in the last 2 years or what..LOL

12 week Appointment and general updates

Today was our 12 week "baby check" appointment. Other than being super tired and still having major heartburn, I have felt great. Our nurse found the heartbeat immediately but then the baby decided to move..LOL.. The heartbeat was 156bpm. My blood pressure and everything was great. I haven't gained any weight, or lost any like I did with Karli. My Dr. said everything is perfect. My next appointment is in 4 weeks.

As for updates.. Korey started middle school last week and LOVES it...Karli started walking last week and is into everything. We have really had to "baby proof" now. I am so glad that I got Ran to put all the cabinet latches in a few weeks ago.

The News is Out

We finally told our parent's. We told Ran's parents on Tuesday night and told my parents tonight. Both sets are very excited that there is another little one on the way. The fact that we managed to keep it a secret for almost 11 weeks shocked both of our mothers. My mother actually asked me two weeks ago if we were expecting again yet and I said UH, Nope!...LOL... she called me on it today.. It was funny.. Ran's sister is the only one who said that she suspected it was coming. I am doing great. Still no morning sickness. I only have heartburn..I can deal with heartburn. I won't lie, I am really wanting another boy, but of course will be happy with a boy or girl. Ran says he doesn't care. I am giving the baby a pep talk everyday about staying on the inside until at least March 1st.. I do not want to do the NICU dance this time. Our next appt. is August 20th... I will be 11 wks 4 dys...I can't believe that I am almost in the 2nd trimester already. We are heavily discussing names. We have a first name picked out for a boy and a middle name for a girl, so we aren't done... We have plenty of time though.
