I went to the Dr. yesterday for my 16 week check up. I got to hear the heartbeat (was in the 140's) and the nurse made a comment that it might be a boy, she is a little loopy...she was talking about Brad Pitt and Angelina having babies out of wedlock, b/c she saw that I was looking at a People magazine. So I typically ignore her, and I also don't like people who judge others based on one aspect of their life. Ughh... not everyone believes in marriage and I think everyone should do what they want and what they believe. Brad and Angie have given some poverty stricken children a home, I think that is wonderful; who cares if they had babies and weren't married...mind your own business people!!!!! I think this nurse gets on my Dr.'s nerves as well.
Anyway...the Dr. answered all of my many questions...Can I lift my doggies (YES), can I drink protein shakes, b/c I don't cook breakfast with protein (YES), I am big on granola bars and pop tarts, is the itching all over normal (YES), is my wieght gain in normal range (YES), when do I have the RHOGAM shots (starting at 28 wks, b/c Cory's blood is O+ and mine is RH-), can I take Zantac long term for the TERRIBLE heartburn (YES).
Then they took some blood and that was it. She did tell me that I didn't need to see the specialist on Friday, that I needed to wait until my 20 wk check up to do the level 2 ultrasound. So I won't be finding out the gender until March 25th :(
I hope to post a belly pic soon since it has been a month, Cory has been out of town this week so I will do it when he gets home tomorrow. Prepare yourselves for major fatness!

I had to have RhoGam too. It wasn't a big deal. I also tested positive for group b strep. I was supposed to have two rounds of iv antibiotics BEFORE Andrew was born. Since I was only at the hospital for 2 hours that didn't happen. We just had to stay a little longer and Andrew had to have blood drawn a few more times than normal. I did have to carry a card in my wallet about the rhogam shots for a little while.
