16 weeks

I'm 16 weeks today. I really can't believe it. 

I had my 16 week appointment today. The midwife just took my blood pressure - which was fine. She also checked my urine and everything was fine with that too. The most exciting part was getting to listen to the babys heartbeat ♥ It took her a while to find the heartbeat and in those few minutes I felt myself starting to feel worried (even though the midwife kept telling me not to worry and that it was normal to take a few minutes to find). She found it eventually. The heart rate was 144bpm. It always sounds amazing! 

The next thing I have to look forward to is my anomaly scan at 19 weeks + 6. I really can't wait. I know I'll be a complete mess with worry nearer the time but for now I'm excited about seeing my baby again. I'm also excited about finding out the sex so I really hope the baby cooperates! I don't care either way about the sex as long as the baby is healthy. 

After the scan my next midwife appointment is at 22 weeks on the 21st October. That's 6 weeks away today. It feels so far away but as I've said before the pace is picking up. 

I still can't believe I'm 16 weeks. 

As I said yesterday I've taken some more pictures. I'm not sure these pictures are that great but I wanted to take some every week so I can look back and compare. 

Again I can't seem to manage to twist and take a side picture up close!
