Great OB appt today!

I had my 16 week appt today and it was amazing!

I am starting to receive bi-weekly cervical checks and today was my first one. The ultrasound tech was AMAZING and spent lots of time with me. Everything looked great with the baby and my cervix was measureing nice at 4.9 (they want to be above 2.5). I asked her to see if she could get a peek at the goods and she said it was really early, so she would only tell us if she was 99.9% sure. Well, I don't know how it could be mistaken because we have a healthy little BOY growing in there! I am so excited to finally go from calling the baby a 'it' to HE! I think DH's face has a permanent smile on it.

I did get put on blood pressure meds though because my blood pressures have been pretty high lately. I have been tracking them for a week now per Dr's orders and they are staying elevated. Hopefully the meds will do the trick and everything will be good.

I am on cloud 9. I was SO anxious about the appointment. Last time I went in for a 16 week appointment my water broke a week later. So, my next appointment will be in 2 weeks and then I will be more pregnant than I have ever been. So excited to pass that milestone!
