16 week dr. appointment - September 29, 2008

We had our 16 week appointment today....Everything went very well! Got to listen to the heartbeat again - my favorite part! The dr. did my first fundal height measurement. The fundal height is the distance from the top of the uterus to the pubic bone and allows understanding for how much the uterus has grown. This number often coordinates with the number of weeks in pregnancy. I measured 16cm, which matches up since we're 16 weeks pregnant!

Our next appointment is in one month - October 28th. This will also be our next ultrasound and the opportunity to find out if Poppy is a boy or a girl! However, we thought it would be more fun to keep the suspense going and not find out until "it" arrives in March! -Monica
