Today, I had my 16 week OB appointment. I think this might have been the fastest OB appointment I ever had. It was the standard, pee in a cup, blood pressure, weight check, and heart beat check. Then I got a lab slip and scheduled my 18 week ultrasound and 20 week OB appointment. Obviously, nothing earth shattering happened if I was in and out in less than five minutes. The best news was I gained only one pound in four weeks. I had put on a ton of weight early on with my thyroid being out of control so hopefully this means my new dosage is doing the trick. I am already up 16 pounds in this pregnancy and I was carrying about 3 extra pounds when I started. I am going to have to be really careful for the next 24 weeks. The last thing I need is gain 40 pounds as I approach my 40th birthday and have to work like an aging, middle-aged woman to take it off.
In two weeks, I will have my 18 week sonogram and we will be finding out the gender. I was out-voted on that one 5-1. I do plan on using my trump card with respect to the name though!
