Sixteen weeks already! It is flying by. I had a checkup this week, which also flew by. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s my second and everything seems fine, but I was in and out in fifteen minutes. (That’s total time on the premises!)
Baby 2 had a great heart rate (155 bpm) and all my vitals look good. I am thankful for healthy, easy pregnancies and pray it continues! And guess what? The other day Jim was talking to my belly – we’re talking nose pressed into my belly button – and the baby moved! I’ve felt him bump around a couple of times before, but this time was more special.
Here is our sixteen-week belly picture. I keep feeling like I just look fat in the tummy, but really, what else can that round bump be? 🙂 If you think it looks just like the last belly picture, you’re not alone. I can’t tell the difference either… but my jeans can.

Our next ultrasound is May 10. By then we’ll be half way to the big day in September! And just so we’re clear, no, Jeff, that isn’t a peace sign. It’s a TWO.
