hoping for an early Christmas present!

We are 16 weeks today!!!! 4 months down! 5 more to go!



I went to the doctor last Monday for a routine appointment...but it didn't go so routine. I had some serious cramping afterward (scary stuff!) So, I went back 2 days later to check everything out to make sure baby was ok. The heartbeat was nice and strong 152 (it was 163 2 days before). The nurse practitioner thought I might have a bladder infection and prescribed antibiotics. Yesterday, they called and prescribed me another type of antibiotic because apparently I DO have a bladder infection. Fun Fun. I'm just having some pains...so it's not too bad. The worst part is taking the antibiotics. I have the hardest time remembering to take them. But alas...I'm sure I'll survive.

And the early Christmas present we are hoping for is finding out the sex of the baby!!! I have a sonogram appointment scheduled for December 22nd...and as long as baby cooperates, we should know before Christmas! What a wonderful gift!

As to whether it is a boy or girl...Travis and I both believe that it is a boy. But the old wives tale is that higher heartbeats indicate that it is a girl. So far, we have had high heartbeats, so we'll see!

I'll update as soon as we know!!
