16 Week Appointment

As usual, my regular OB appointment was anti-climactic. The baby's heart rate was 147, and I've gained five pounds so far. That was about it. They drew blood for our quad screening which tests for Down Syndrome (again), trisomy 18, and neural tube defects. We should get the results in a week or so.

I'm attaching some belly pictures. The first is right after we found out we were pregnant...so it's more of a 'before' picture. You can see in the second photo that I'm starting to round out a bit. It's not much, but enough to make my pants too tight!
