16 wks

Well I had a Dr's Apt today and nothing has changed. The placenta hasn't moved yet but the baby is growing and doing fine, which is great news. Today they took the down syndrome and spina bifida test for the baby. I am so glad they have they can take these test but I am always so nervous the couple of ddays after I do the lab work. This is one of the times I really don't want a phone call from the Dr asking me to come in and descuss the test results. I have no idea what I would do. The thought frightens me to death!! I just want a healthy, happy little baby.
The heart rate is at a good and steady 150. I bet it is a boy. I have no idea what I would do with a boy. Another girl would be so much easier I think with Adalie...that is until they are teenagers and hate each other. lol. I remember growing up with three older sisters close in age when they hit 15...wow it was bad!! I just sort of watched on the sidelines never knowing what the big deal was about phone calls and boys but there was definitely something there. haha

Brett took the MCAT!! Woo hoo!! We are so glad that part is over but now we have to wait 3 wks to know what he made. Poor guy will be nervous for the nest month! Meanwhile, he is getting his applications ready and finishing up all his Dr shadowing. It will still be a pretty busy year. It is going to be a fun day when we know what is going to happen!! Can't wait!!

I think Adalie is starting to feel the effects of being inside all the time. Poor thing. I really need to take her out more, especially since the cold weather will be approaching sooner than later. It is just hard trying to get out and since I can't drive anywhere, parks are usually out of the question unless daddy is there to take us. She has been so well behaved though and puts up with a lot from her tired mommy. I am still nauseous as ever but she is sweet and holds my hand when I puke. haha She is a good kid =)

Good Luck Lydia! Glad Brett took his test and your lucky your kid will hold your hand while you puke. I am not sure my kids would be as willing though I bet they would enjoy the show
