I'm 18 weeks and feel very big!

I'm 18 weeks along. Look how BIG my belly is. Daddy likes to kiss my belly at night. He thinks it's fun because the belly button is sticking out.

Meeting the Doctor

On November 4th I meet our doctor for the first time. He name is Dr. Kim Nicholes and she is very nice. I never thought I would go see a female doctor, because of grandpa being male. But I really think that I am going to like her. She is in her mid 40's and very sweet. I was surprised with how short the appointment was. I always thought that doctor appointments for pregnant woman were so important. This thought might have come about because your grandfather is an OB doctor. Anyhow the appointment went as follows.

# 1 Got weighed in (and I lost a pound!).
# 2 Had to pee in a cup (you always do this).
# 3 Had my blood pressure taken 120/60, very normal.
# 4 Waited in the room for 10 minutes or more for the doctor.
# 5 The doctor introduced herself and told me everything looks good.
# 6 I had no questions so we listened to your heart beat.
# 7 Then I was done and made an appointment for 4 weeks down the road.

That's it. Everything is normal and our appointments will continue on like this until I'm farther along. Yet, the exciting part is..... we find out if you are a boy or girl at the next appointment. I have a feeling you are a boy. In fact I have had 3 dreams that you are a boy. But you never know what will happen. We are so excited to find out on December 4th.
