16 weeks, looking good.

Today I had my Dr's appointment. Baby had a heartbeat of 166 bpm, the exact same as last time. Consistency already! So far at every appointment since our doctor is a family friend, we've gotten to have an ultrasound and see our baby, but today I guess the hospital was busy. Next month though, we will find out if it's a boy or girl. I can't tell you how anxious I am to find out. On one hand, it will give me the green light to start preparing better for the baby buying things here and there I think suits them. (Jon is dreading this because that means spending more money.) On the other hand, I feel like it will make a more personal connection with my kid. I'm tired of calling him or her, "it", or "Spankus". We have a few names in mind and to be honest, we can't wait to name the baby. Instead of saying, "baby doesn't like that", I;ll be able to say "(Insert baby name here) doesn't like that." 

Dr. gave me the green light to travel during Spring break. We aren't going anywhere too far, but Jon and I decided this may be our last chance for a long while. 

I'm so excited Athena will be delivering the baby. She has been my doctor since I was 6, and let me tell you, she's gotten to know me very well! Her daughter and I played on the same softball/ basketball league all through childhood so she has been there at every ER visit, stitch, and surgery. She knows how my body works and was thrilled when she said she WANTED to deliver the baby. I wouldn't have chosen anyone else. She's very laid back and truly has my best interest at heart. She is truly one of God's extended great physicians. 

I start back to school tomorrow and head back to Weatherford. It's comforting knowing in 4 short months I'll be out for the summer and will have a month or so to just focus on getting this kid into the world. But for now, I pray I can stay focused and not just survive school but conquer it. I'll admit I'm a bit of a nerd and getting A's feel good. 

I see KD on TV, time for me to Thunder Up!

Blessed,

Sarah
