16 weeks

/ />

So how in the world has it been 16 weeks already??? Time really has flown by with this pregnancy! We went July 2nd for our monthly check up and everything checked out perfect. The baby's heartrate was in the 140's and I am measuring right on schedule.
A little funny story about the doctors visit--Addison HATES and I mean HATES doctors! She cries and throws a fit every time she sees one! It doesn't have to be her doctor..ANY doctor she despises! So as the nurse practitioner was listening to the baby's heartbeat Addison was crying and as soon as she picked up the heartbeat the baby moved away and she had to go searching for it again. The NP said "Wow this baby already knows to run away from the big sister when she is crying" LOL. So anyways it was just funny to hear the NP say that. Addison did eventually calm down but she clung to her daddy the entire visit. Also some GREAT GREAT news, the NP moved our ultrasound appointment up a week so now we get to find out if we are having a boy or girl on
JULY 23rd!!!!
SUPER SUPER EXCITED about that!

Anyways here is a preggo pick of me. And yeah I know Im big for 16 , almost 17 weeks. LOL

Our little peanut

Today we went to the doctor and got our first glimpse of our surprise baby! He or she is a very active little booger and danced and wiggled during the entire ultrasound and the tech said "you've got a dancin baby!" So so cute! Here's a pic!


The baby is measuring right on track at 8 weeks 5 days and thus putting my due date December 12th. And the heartbeat is in the 170's. So very strong heartbeat and active baby-we are so thankful and blessed! Addison got to see the baby with us and she didn't really know what to think but she did look at it and say "Baby!" . Seeing this little one's heartbeat for the first time was just as exciting as seeing Addison's for the very first time. And today it became even more real that we are having another baby and what a miracle and blessing this truly is. I am thankful beyond words for what the Lord has done and what He is going to do! What an awesome God we serve!

This is Big Sister Addison holding the pics of her little brother or sister!
