16 week Doctors Appt.

Today I went to the doctor for my 16 week prenatal appointment. I was supposed to go in on Monday but I have had some very light cramping for the past few days. I was also feeling very tender in my uterus so I called and my great doc got me in today! Everything looked really great. The baby was very active and had a great heartbeat. Not only did we get these great ultrasound pics, but we also got to listen to the heartbeat with the Doppler! It was so reassuring to go to the doc today. He chalked up my cramps to probably not drinking enough water and being dehydrated. The tenderness in my uterus is probably just from all the growing and stretching. I am feeling a lot more confident as times goes on. The next few weeks may be a little worrisome as this is when I found out about the one we lost in November. But I am trying to stay positive. I feel totally different this pregnancy than I did with the last. I was not feeling my uterus last time like I do this time. So that is definitely reassuring. This first pic is the baby's head and torso. The far left is the face looking towards us.

This pic is the baby's legs. The white spots are the knees and you can see the legs and feet crossed. The baby was being modest and not showing its parts. We are glad because we want a surprise!
