16 Week Checkup

Dearest Baby-
What a beautiful morning! I woke up this morning feeling excited about you and how well my doctor's appointment went yesterday afternoon. Here are some stats from the visit:
Weight= +1.2 pounds (But I had lost 2 pounds, so I am not sure if that's considering gaining 3.2 pounds or just 1.2 pounds total. Either way is fine with me and still well within a healthy range at this point in the pregnancy)
Blood Pressure= 100/70 (Which was excellent since my last few visits measured slightly on the high side and I was a little concerned that it might be creeping up)
Heart Rate= 152 beats per minute (Perfectly average for your age)
Other than those few little measurements, the doctor took some blood/urine to send off for testing and asked me how I was feeling. I told me that we were excellent and then we were on our way home! The next appointments are the mid-pregnancy anatomy scan and another monthly checkup in June. So far, so good......
I love you very much!
Love, Mom
PS- Please start kicking me soon so I can feel you moving. I am really looking forward to that happening in the next couple weeks. It's going to be great!
