16 Weeks

   I think what I would like to do once the baby is born is print off all my baby posts up until that point and put them in a little book for my child to read once he or she gets a little older. I think that would be neat to be able to read about the time I had a hunch that he/she might be in there, to the time when I got a positive test, and everything since. After the birth, I plan on continuing the blog to talk about my baby's progress as he/she ages.
    I am now 16 weeks pregnant and have been feeling pretty good lately. My next doctor's appointment is Friday (tomorrow) so I will add a supplemental post to tell how it went. We are hoping to find out if we are having a girl or a boy this time. :)  I have not been experiencing any more problems with my pregnancy. (Last time, I mentioned some minor bleeding that the nurse said I didn't really need to worry about.) I have, however, been feeling some "flutters" this past week and have been wondering if in fact it is the baby movement that I am feeling. I am so eager to be feeling strong enough kicks that will leave no doubt.
   This past weekend, we received a Sleep Number bed in the mail that we ordered. We have slept on it three nights now and my husband and I just LOVE it! We have both found that we are sleeping through the night now and waking up with little to no back pain. My own back pain and stiff neck and shoulders are greatly relieved. It was kind of an expensive purchase but we both seem to agree that it has been worth it.  A full night's sleep can be very valuable. I have notice that I am not as tired during the day and my headaches are not as frequent.
   That's all I've got for now. I'll post again after the doctor's visit tomorrow. I can't wait to see what the gender is so we can give "Little P" a proper name.
