We had our 16 week appointment yesterday with our nurse/ midwife. We finally got to hear the bambino's heartbeat for the first time! It's a strong, healthy 150 beats per minute. She was right over it's back with the doppler & it kept moving around! It was all pretty cool!
It's still a bit surreal. Even though I'm heading into my 5th month of pregnancy, my only signs have been nauseousness (which has for the most part subsided), a little indigestion/ heartburn, some dizziness (from all the lovely new blood my body is producing), and fatigue. My pants are a little bit tighter, but I'm not really showing at all. The nurse/midwife said that I most likely won't get that big because of my height. She said that if someone saw me from behind (even at my biggest) they probably wouldn't know I was pregnant. Still, it will be cool when I can actually see this little guy or gal popping out a little!
In the next couple of weeks I should begin to start feeling the little one flipping around down there. So excited! On December 11th we go for our big ultrasound appointment where they may also be able to sex the baby... yes, we're finding out. Like Ross says, it's a surprise no matter when you find out!
So many good things to look forward to! I'm enjoying every second! Send good baby vibes our way!

Gram and Grandpa send good vibes!
Good vibes are always comin' your way!
I must know immediately the sex. Then & only then can I start whipping out magical items for your little bambino or bambina.
And I do understand about wanting to at least show off that you are preggers! Unfortunately by 5 months I was always a cow. You will gorgeous dahling, gorgeous!
