16 weeks

Yesterday I had my 16 week appointment. I am happy to report that mommy and baby are perfectly healthy! While I feel like I am growing, I gained only 1/2 pound this month. (Up about 6 pounds for the first 4 months) Funny since I feel like I am eating so much more:) His/her heart rate was between 148 and 151. Our next appointment will be on July 3rd and we will also have our ultrasound at this time and get to see the baby!!! We can hardly wait. It will be fun to bring the girls with to see their brother/sister:) At this time we will also be able to find out what we are having. Sometimes I think it would be fun to leave it a surprise...as I am pretty sure this will be the final baby for us. Other times however, I think that there is no way not to find out, there is so much to get ready for the new little one. I guess that we have 4 weeks to make this decision. Whether we decide to find out or not, I have put a poll on the right where you can cast your vote. I will change the amount of time it is open for voting if we end up leaving it as a surprise. As for guesses, I really do not have one. I keep thinking maybe it will be a boy, although Mike is convinced it will be another girl. Each time I feel like I do not remember how I felt last time, so I really have nothing to compare with. Going out on a limb, I might say that I feel a little sicker this time and was more tired, but that could also have to do with the fact that I was running around with 2 this time. What I find funny is that while I feel like I have popped, I still do not fit in maternity pants....go figure! Payton was higher than Riley I think in terms of how I carried her. Maybe this one will be even higher!
