Sigh of Relief!

We had our 16 week check up at the OB today. Nothing to abnormal: stand on the scale, pee in a cup, how are you feeling. They did do a DNA swab, but no need to get into the details of that. I am not even sure exactly what they were testing with that.

We also got to hear the heartbeat! 140 beats a minute strong! (between 110 and 170 is what they look for, so Goober is doing good!) I love that sound! I must say, I breathe a sigh of relief every time we have an ultrasound or get to hear that heartbeat...knowing that everything is going ok!

We declined to have the tri-screen testing done, (this tests for downs, spinabifida, and other abnormalities) for the fact that it wouldn't change anything for us. We would never chose to terminate the pregnancy given the results of the test. So, to save ourselves the money and the anxiety of getting ourselves nervous about false postivies, we opted out.

Our next appointment is in 4 weeks and we have another ultrasound scheduled. I can't wait to see little Goober swimming around!

I keep waiting to feel movementts. I think that I have felt movements a few times, but am unsure if that is what I am really feeling. Could be gas! =)
