16 weeks and only 27 days to go

I had my 16 week appointment yesterday and finally started taking belly pictures, so here are a few. First picture was taken before my appointment early in the morning. The second picture was taken late in the afternoon and is a close up of my belly (probably why it looks bigger than it should). The third picture was also taken late in the afternoon and is a front picture of my belly :0) YAY!!!

 Okay, now that we've all seen the belly pictures it's time for the actual post. So my appointment yesterday was at 9:15am, my doctor is near/very close to Piedmont Hospital. So since I live in Bethlehem, which isn't as close to Piedmont. I have to leave early to make it there. Well since I was probably going to hit traffic (morning rush hour), I decided to leave at 7am and I did. I TOOK AN HOUR AND A HALF to make it to 285... so by 8:30am I was only at 285, but luckily once you hit 285 traffic disappears. So I got to my doctor's office by 8:50am, which was good. 

I told my doctor all about my migraines and symptoms that went with them. She offered to write me a prescription for strong pain killers (that I could take during pregnancy), however since she didn't seem that comfortable prescribing them and they were narcotics, I declined and since that Tylenol helped a little and that I'd rather stuffer through it. She also told me that headaches and migraines were normal during pregnancy, especially in the 2nd trimester, but as my pregnancy continues the headaches/migraines should become less and less. However if I'm still having as many as I'm having by the 3rd trimester, she suggests that I might get an MRI just to make sure. But she's not concerned at all. Plus I had my blood pressure checked and it was 102/64, which they said was really good. So everything's good.

The best part was when the doctor was listening to the heartbeat, it took a couple minutes because every time she found it and started counting Jeallybean would start to kick and move and all you could hear was the movement, haha..not cooperating already! She finally was able to get the count of the heartbeat, which was 160 again and really good. So I'm happy. But now the countdown begins....ONLY 27 days til we find out if we're having a BOY OR GIRL!!! :0) I'm so exciting! I really think it's a girl, not just because I would like a girl first, I just have a feeling. But we'll see. I could always be wrong! But on September 28 at 2:00pm we'll know! YAY!! Plus my birthday is the day before, so it's going to be a GREAT birthday present! Plus we'll also get to see our jellybean again, haven't seen him/her since week 12 of pregnancy, so I'm excited! YAY!!!
