4 months and we'll know the sex soon!

Well, we are 16 weeks along and I haven't been sick in over a week. Starting to feel some better, some days I'm super productive, but some days I'm still exhausted! The sun coming out with some warmer days has helped a lot! Still not sleeping great, but definitely gonna start surrounding myself with lots of pillows! Not sure exactly how much I weigh, our scale reads the same weight as my last doctor's appt, so not sure if I've gained much weight since, but I definitely feel like it. I'm sticking out far in the tummy, comfy clothes are a must.

I am getting more and more excited about what's to come, but still not sure what "Our Plan" is going to be after the baby comes. We are so fortunate to have very loving and helpful parents ourselves. We should find out next month what we are having! Our doc appt is April 13th, but we may find out Easter weekend in Ft. Payne, because Dave's aunt can do ultrasounds and we might try a 4D picture, which will probably reveal what it is! We'll see...

I met a mom of a 7 month old who is with a musician and she was a super positive person. She kept going on and on about how small I still was at 4 months...I beg to differ. She had a natural birth and said it was not bad at all. That is really my next big decision...natural or epidural. From what I've heard, I need to be prepared for both, because anything can happen, no matter your birth plan. I'm leaning towards epidural, but I'm still researching.

Got all my work done, so gonna go relax and read...or nap.

Epidural.

"Your plan" -- not to name a boy Joe.

The heartbeat...you haven't actually "heard" it yet. The Doppler signal is a sonar representation of the movement of the heart. To "hear" it, you have to use a stethoscope. I happen to have one, but I think 16 weeks is the earliest you can "hear" it.
