Hi baby!

Hi there little one. We did get to see you on Tuesday. That was such a great visit. Daddy did come with me, Ceili did not. It actually worked out perfectly. We got to see you for a good long time and we took home a dozen pictures. I saw my favorite nurse - Mary, who helped me conceive Ceili and I've been seeing her for years. She was so excited for us. She is extremely experienced and took a wild stab at your gender even though it's really early. She said GIRL and she seemed pretty confident about it. We won't know for absolute sure until 8/5 when the official gender scan u/s will take place. But it kind of goes along with my instinct, so I believe it. Plus your heartbeat has consistently been between 165 and 168 every single time, which tends to point to girl as well.

So that was really fun. I'm still not really showing and my clothes are still mostly fitting okay. I was down another pound at the appointment, so down about 3 or 4 overall now. I went back to look at my journal with Ceili and I think I was still down 2 pounds by 16 weeks. I'm oddly not worried about it, but it is still admittedly puzzling.

I asked the nurse about some of my more annoying symptoms right now. I still get dizzy a LOT which she was able to explain well. I also have been getting almost daily splitting headaches, which she also was able to explain well. And even this weird heart/breathing problem I randomly get - she was able to explain in detail and give me things to do about it. I was really pleased with how it all went. Next appointment is 7/22. Hurrah!
