It feels good to finally reach 16 weeks in this pregnancy. I know every one always looks forward to getting to 12 weeks. But for me 16 makes me feel so much better. I've got the cute little belly bump going on so it actually looks like I'm pregnany and not just getting a beer gut. It may just be my imagination but I have felt those sweet little flutters that resemble baby movement. It is such a great feeling to finally feel that baby kick and squirm.
I had a good doctor's appointment this week. I have gained 7 pounds so far. My blood pressure was 137/80 which is borderline high. Doctor said she its not high enough to treat yet. But she would just watch it. I have been having a lot of headaches lately. Not sure if they are associated with my blood pressure or not.
I have to say that the night after I went to the doctor I did the worse thing I could have...googled complications of hypertension. I soooo should not have done that. I knew the possible complications with my other two but it just really scares me this time. I guess since I already have two it scares me for anything to happen to me or the baby. I just hope that things will be ok and all will be fine with the baby. I knew this was a risk with this baby but I trust that all will be fine and my doctor will take all precautions to keep us safe.
I will have my ultrasound in a few weeks. We are sticking to our guns about not finding out the sex of the baby. I think it will be so exciting to be surprised. The baby's heart rate has consistently been in the 150s and according to the old wives' tale it looks to be a girl. If that is the case we better decide on a name!!
