Baby Checkup and Update

I went to the doctor this morning. When you have been to the doctor enough times and had to pee in a little bitty cup each time, you get good at it. That is a scary thought! I am good at peeing in a cup. But I do each time to make sure all my levels are where they are and then if they are, I dont have to give blood! The best part of all, because I like all my blood right where it is, on the inside.

I am 17 weeks and a couple of days today. The baby is floating all over the place. It took my doctor a little bit to find him/her today because he/she was moving so much. Even to the point that we were talking about going to do an ultrasound. But eventually the doctor was able to locate the heart beat. Right on target and doing well. I measure fine. Weight is still no gain (I know I know, dont worry it will all come.) I am starting to show a little bit. My clothes are starting to get a little snug in the waist, but I am hoping to make it till the end of February without having to buy too much.

I set the date for the BIG ultrasound - February 24th at 3:30pm. Then we will know what this little one is. Anyone want to take bets?

Here is a picture of BJ and I at the beginning of November. A friend/photographer took professional pictures of our entire family - kd loftis photography. She is amazing!
Everything else is going well. BJ and I are both getting geared up for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. We each have many different things to get ready! Hope you are all doing well. Talk to you soon! Love ya bunches!
