Ho-ly crap, where has time gone?! Am I already almost halfway done? Jeesh, I can't believe it! I had my 16 week check up yesterday and everything went really well. I've gained 4 lbs back (feels more like 20) and my nausea has subsided. I am SO thankful for that! We listened to the heartbeat and the doctor says it's beating very healthily! In the 150's. I was hoping for an ultrasound yesterday, but that was a no go. They said they usually wait until 18 weeks to do the gender determination, but I'm getting impatient! I have to call the radiology clinic today and see if they can fit me in before the holidays, but if not, I have to get an appointment squeezed in before we head to NY (in case ya'll didn't hear, Jason got orders to Fort Drum, NY so we are heading there January 5th). I'm trying to convince Jason to get me a 4D ultrasound for Christmas, but he just doesn't see the need for it (must be a mom thing). Little Charliam (that's my new nickname) is quite the mover too! The doctor confirmed that what I was feeling was the baby moving, and now he/she won't stop! Every time it happens, I just have to smile. :) So cute. We're slowly starting to build the baby's wardrobe, Jason couldn't resist a "Cutie on Duty" t-shirt yesterday at the PX. I've already got a pile of laundry to get done! I had to go out and buy a belly band because all of my jeans are now too tight. I love it because it allows me to wear my regular jeans w/o having them fall down because they're unbuttoned!
As far as the pics go, the reason I'm in a swimsuit is because I feel like I look more preggers than the pictures let on. This was the most appropriate way to show that! :)
That's all for now. I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow and 20 weeks on Christmas Day. I still can't believe it!
