I went for my 16 week check-up yesterday. I can't believe I am 16 weeks already, but, at the same time, I feel like I've been pregnant forever. Anyway, I was nervous for this appointment because I haven't been to the doctor in 3 weeks. She took my weekly "security blanket" visits away since I was doing so well.
We went into the non-sono room which always makes my heart flutter. For some reason with this pregnancy, and the two prior, she cannot seem to ever find the heartbeat. Plus, I get so nervous that my heart rate goes up so sometimes she can't tell if it's my crazy heart beating uber-fast or the baby. So, of course this time was no different; no heart beat found.
We moved to Room 5, the sonogram room. I nervously waited for the machine to start up so I could see this little bugger. And there the baby was, getting bigger with the heart beating away! The baby was going CRAZY moving like a lunatic! It was jumping, flipping over, kicking, moving its arms up and down, and opening and closing its mouth. This kid was N-U-T-S! Scott and I were amazed to watch this life on the screen. We were thrilled!
I must admit that I was hoping for a "calm" baby after Jack being so active. I am hoping, however, that this baby has the opposite effect. Jackson was REALLY mellow in my belly and didn't become crazy until toddlerhood so maybe this baby will exert all its energy in the womb and come out relaxed and chill:) No matter what, we are just happy to have a healthy baby!
I don't go back to the doctor until January 9th so keep us in your prayers. We will get all the measurements done then and hopefully be able to find out the sex of the baby too!

By the way when you said the "baby was N-U-T-S"... I thought I read the "baby HAS NUTS"...LOL!! I thought you were trying to tell us it was a BOY! I read it again thankfully.
ps... Emma was always really active in my tummy and she is definitly my little chill baby! So there is still hope :)
