4 month Check Up

Today Neal & I had our 16wk check up with Dr. Rudat. I got my weight checked again and I'm weighing in at 130 pds. Dr. says im not gaining much yet but that is expected with only being in the beginning of my 2nd trimester. Cindy the nurse checked my blood pressure & it was perfect! Dr. Rudat came in and we listened to the heartbeat....WOW I still cant believe how amazing that sounds. I asked Neal prior to the appt if he would record it for me while we listened to it, so needless to say we have this amazing sound recorded for all our family to hear! Afterwards I asked my dr some questions & then he said goodbye until next time. The nurse came back in & I got my flu shot. Never in my 8 yrs working with kids did I decide to get one. So afterwards I told the nurse that it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Quick & painful...for now! So now we wait...exactly 4 wks from today we will know if it is a Emmalin Jean or a Patrick James I'm carrying....if baby cooperates!!! Again I say this but I feel very blessed to be pregnant & to be having Neal's baby!!!
