16 Weeks (A week late again!)


I had my 16 week OB check today, July 17th. We heard the heartbeat at a rate of 147 beats per minute. I had my alpha fetal protein blood work done. This checks for spinal cord defects as well as other possible problems with the baby. I did gain some weight since the last visit which is good because I had lost 1/2 a lb the last visit. I'm up to 155 lbs, I think that was about 1 or 2 lbs high. All of a sudden in the last couple days I gained 3-4 lbs. Very weird! We were in and out of the OB's office in less than 15 minutes I think. It takes longer to get there then we spent there.

I'm definitely starting to feel "Little Bit" moving yesterday, July 16th and today, July 17th. Just feeling little knocks here and there. Especially when I'm sitting up and kinda leaning forward a bit.

A week later, July 23rd, feeling lots of movement throughout the day both sitting and laying down. We got a normal result back from our alpha fetal protien test I had last week. Good news yet again!!!
