Week 16 check up!

Sorry no pictures. This was another routine check up... but I have a funny story to tell. So at Dr. Oldroyd's they make you bring in your own urine sample each time to come. Well last time I peed in the cup after breakfast, and apparently you are supposed to pee first thing in the morning before you eat; so you it doesn't mess up the blood sugar levels. I felt bad, so this time I was determined to do it right. Well the night before I put the urine cup on top of the toilet so that I wouldn't forget when I woke up. Well it worked... I woke up and I peed in the cup! I was so proud of myself. Well I had to get to work early , so I grabbed my cup of urine threw it in a purse, and went out the door. I got to work, and I was excitd to get a great parking spot; but then..... I grabbed my purse and it was soaking wet. The whole passengar seat was wet. I opened my purse up and yup, the lid to the cup was off and the te cup was empty. I HAD URINE ALL OVER MY SEAT! well... I had to re-fill it up, so i grabbed the purse and the cup and brought it to work. I drank a ton of water and re-filled it at work... Yea talk about embarrassing.

Needless to say, I had a successful urine sample to take to the doctor's office, but it was still post east breakfast. But everything checked out. They weighed me, and the nurse was proud of me because I'm finally starting to gain weight. I gained a wopping 4 lbs-- though I feel like I've gained much more. It took the doctor awhile to find the heart neat this time; probably because my blatter was still full from me dowing the water earler. But he found it.. 142 beats per minute. We are excited each time we hear good news. The doctor even pushed up my date to July 29th for our official ultrasound. He doesn't know that I am having my Father-in-Law give me one this weekened so I can maybe tell what we are having earlier. Wish us luck!

Ahhhh I am so excited for you guys! And that pee story is awesome, we all need good, "while I was pregnant stories". I want to see you so bad so we can chat about baby stuff, and I want to see you tiny little tummy. Call me.

Oh and don't worry about the weight, I didn't gain any in my first tri either, but by the end I had gained almost 40lbs but don't stress about it now, you can work it off later, just enjoy everthing.

Im excited for you to find out what you're having!! We tried to see at 17 weeks but Travis wouldn't get off his butt so we had to wait till week 21. Make sure you post it as soon as you find out!!
I gained only 5 lbs till I hit about 18weeks.. then by the time I went into the hospital I had gained 39.. it'll come on fast!
PS.. make sure I get an invite to a babyshower so I can give you fun gifts!
