I had another doctor's appointment (reg OB) last night and this time I decided to bring my sister along for the show. I felt bad because while the doctor DID do a sono like usual, it was really quick and stinky. He didn't play the heartbeat and just did a couple of quick measurements and that was that. I didn't even get any pictures. Oh well.
So I am now 22 weeks and things are moving along swimmingly. I actually have a bit of a baby belly now instead of just looking chubby, and best of all- I have been feeling just the slightest bit of movement in there! The first time I felt it it actually felt like the baby did a flip in there. It was so weird. I haven't felt anything like that since then but have been feeling little taps here and there, or "flutters" as many people say. I actually wasn't expecting to feel anything for some time because I was diagnosed as having an anterior placenta, but I am pleasantly surprised! I cannot wait for people to be able to feel it from the outside. Especially hubby- he will be sooo excited!
The doctor really emphasized how lucky I am that this pregnancy stuck with all of the complications in the beginning. He said that everything looks perfect- absolutely perfect. Placenta and all. I could not be happier.
18 weeks left!
BTW: Baby measured in at exactly one pound!
