16 1/2 Weeks

This morning was my second visit with Dr. Raby. She's very much a no nonsense doctor - really quick. I heard your heartbeat for the first time! It was really faint and Dr. Raby had to ask that no one use the toilet for a minute so we could hear it. You're still sitting really low and on the right side.

I asked about a hepatitis immunization for before we go to Mexico. She said to talk to Dr. Hawthorne about it but I think she said that because she thought I wanted to know where to get the shot from. She never said anything about benefits or risks so I think I'll get it. Dr. Raby did say to only drink bottled water. Not even ice cubes. I guess getting sick can be pretty serious for the baby.

The next ultrasound has been booked for 2 weeks from today at a place across the street from KW Hospital.

I was shocked this morning when I was weighed. After eating so much at Mediterraneo last night I was sure I'd be up a couple of pounds this visit but I was the same exact weight as three weeks ago: 151. But Dr. Raby didn't say anything so I guess that means it's not serious enough to worry about. I would think, though, that if I'm still not up by my next visit in 3 weeks she may start questioning what I'm eating.

Daddy and I spent the weekend that just passed getting more of the house ready for your arrival. We gave Moe the old coffee table and bought a new one from Zehrs; one that holds backets on a shelf underneath for diapers and toys. We also found a cheap ($25!!) bookshelf to put in your room to hold all the books you're going to have.

I'm still looking for the perfect baby book though.
