Sorry It's been so long since I've written. D and I were in a wedding this weekend for our best friends and it sort of took over our lives for a week! It was a nice wedding, though. Lots of crying and food and dancing, all the good stuff about weddings.
Unfortunately, I don't think that weddings are good places for pregnant people! After a few hours on my feet, my ankles were cankles, my legs were swollen so bad that my skin felt stretched, and I was so tired that I couldn't even join in the dancing! Add in the fact that I couldn't smoke or drink, and while I was so happy to be there and be a part of it for my dear friends, it wasn't easy. I have to say that I looked pretty great in my bridesmaid dress, after my mom had to adjust it for belly and boobs by letting it out about 4 inches! Most people said I didn't even look pregnant in it!
We also had our 16 week checkup at the OB yesterday. We heard Baby's heart beating strong and loud, and it really sounds like a heartbeat now, not just a swooshing noise. I think I've become addicted to hearing that sound. It reassures me and helps me worry less until the next OB appointment. It's also just so thrilling to hear that noise and think that the baby is growing and changing everyday, right in my belly. While I'm standing in line at Starbucks, the baby is growing. While I'm doing laundry, the baby is growing. While I'm dropping S off at school, the baby is growing. It's really neat to think about.
We scheduled our first sonogram for December 5th. I cannot wait to see the little bugger! November is going to drag, because I am just going to be waiting for that appointment! I just need to see arms and legs and organs in the right places and know that Baby is normal and healthy...I also hope to see boy parts or girl parts, but if we can't see that, I won't be heartbroken...just as long as I see a healthy nugget.
Must take S to school, have a lovely election day!
