16 weeks, 1 day and counting...

Today I went in for my 16 week blood work- checking for down syndrome, spina bifida, etc.

Lil P was measuring right on target (the size of an avocado) and the heart rate was 150! I was pleased to hear the Dr. say that my weight gain was right on track (yes, even though I feel like a house- 2 story, no less). He dispelled the myth that I will cause great harm to Lil P if I sleep on my back (relief!) and we'll go back for another check-up in 4 weeks.

Some fun news: Our next BIG ultrasound is scheduled for June 12th. Let the betting commence! Just for the record: Chinese gender predictor says 'boy', and heart rate myth says 'girl.' Stay tuned for the dramatic results on June 12th!
