16 Week Baby Update

This post is about a week overdue, but I thought I'd give an update anyway. I had my 16 week appointment last Monday. It was very exciting because it was my first time to meet with my midwife for an actual appointment. I recently switched from the dr that delivered Eli to a midwife. It was hard to leave my dr and the familiar environment, but I know that we made the right decision. Anyway, my midwife said that the baby's heartbeat sounds great and that he/she is right on track as far as size goes. She also showed me how to feel the baby and the baby's position when I'm lying on my back. How cool is that?!?!?! She said that I shouldn't do it often, but it is a way for me to tell the exact position of the baby.

Anyway, all is well so far. We will have our sonogram on May 6 to check his/her development and size and to find out the sex of the baby. My official guess is GIRL!! Actually, I will be SHOCKED if it is not a girl. I told my midwife that and she completely agrees! So now I've really been thinking girl and Hunter has too....we'll be so surprised if they tell us it's a boy. Of course we don't care, but we are so excited to find out!! We'll see in about 3 weeks!
