My 3rd Doctor's Visit

Well my Mom and I went to the doctor on Friday for my 3rd visit. Unfortunately Ryan has been unable to attend my doctor visits as he is at the hospital (they don't give doctor's time off to see their own babies!) Thankfully I have the best mom ever who comes with me to these visits! We got to hear the little heartbeat - it is so amazing and has gotten much stronger from last visit!! The doctor measured my stomach too - and at 16 weeks it is supposed to be 9-10cm - mine was 15cm! So needless to say, my mom is convinced that we are having twins! We won't know until the ultrasound though which is scheduled for the week of December 9th - There are twins on both sides of our family, so it will be fun to see! Either way, we will be thrilled! Hopefully, I will have the ultrasound picture to share with some of you at Mark's wedding in London in a few weeks!

Ryan and I are still trying to determine if we want to know the sex of the baby - we would be able to find out at this next appointment - so take our poll at the bottom of the blog to help us decide! There are perks to both so it is a tough decision!

Luckily, I am not suffering from any symptoms anymore -just a growing tummy! None of my pants fit me now - so I am sticking mostly to tights and loose dresses! I am definitely in that awkward stage where people wonder if I have just gained some extra weight or if I am pregnant. I can't wait to be out of this stage so that people just know I am pregnant! :)

We are starting to get ready for this baby - it is starting to become a little more real now. Ryan and I purchased a book, "The Expectant Father" and we try to read from every week - Although I usually have to "remind" him that is time to read, it is a lot of fun once we start - quite humorous!

I will take some pictures over Thanksgiving and post them so you can see what my tummy is starting to look like :)

Much love and talk to you all soon!
