Check-Up.

We had a doctor appointment today and it went well. Not much happens at these doctor appointments really but I always get so excited to have the doctor check up on Mini Bee. It feels good to be reassured everything is going alright. However it seems like the four weeks between appointments takes forever! Our next doctor checkup appointment will be in another four weeks but before that we have a very important appointment first!!!

Our ultrasound is scheduled for some point this next week. Hesitant whether to say which day since I don't want my phone going off looking for hints/answers. We are planning on doing the card approach to finding out the gender as of now. This means having the tech write the gender in a card and having the inside of a cake dyed a certain color for Mitch and I to reveal at a special time when we can celebrate and share this special moment amongst ourselves. Hopefully I can hold myself together. All this baby stuff filled with endless wonderful possibilities tends to make me emotional. For this sake I have determined it would be better for me to find out a little more about our baby to help prepare for the delivery. I am worried I will be busting with so much excitement that another bit of excitement may be more than I can handle. I don't think I will change my mind on finding out but we will see. Finding out the gender though is of course is dependent on how cooperative Mini Bee is.

Mini Bee always takes a while to decide to cooperate at our checkups now. The doctor has a hard time keeping the heartbeat detected because baby didn't want to stay still. They kept hearing lots of movement and even the doctor said it sounds like we have a very active baby! Thinking that's pretty impressive since she has listened to lots of babies. Go Mini Bee! :)

19 weeks.

Woo-Hoo! We got a fruit again finally! (I will like looking at this on my desktop a little better)

At 19 weeks, my baby is a.... Mango!

Searched lots of websites for information on the baby at 19 weeks and honestly all the information is a little unappetizing for anybody other than me probably. I will spare you of the details :) I could not find any details that were just basic and non-graphic. As for the size though, I can't believe how fast Mini Bee is growing! My belly isn't growing too much lately but I guess a belly shoot would show the change if there is any. Speaking of which, we hope to do one this week.

I will say that Mini Bee seems to be getting more active by the day. The movement is felt not only at night now but I still haven't managed to get Mitch to feel it. One of these days I am sure!  We have our appointment on Friday and hopefully from there we can schedule an ultrasound. Lots of thought has gone into whether we are going to find out what we are having and even though I am still on the fence, I am leaning more towards Mitch's side with finding out.... We will have to wait and see though if I stay on that decision :)
