16 Week Appointment

We had another appointment this morning. We wound up having to wait like and hour and a half before seeing the doctor. Usually they get me back really quickly... maybe they were punishing me for spilling pee in the bathroom.

What was that? Yes I spilled my urine in the bathroom. The nurse took me back and got my weight and blood pressure, then sent me to pee in a cup as usual. I went to deposit my sample through the little door... while still sitting on the toilet with my pants around my ankles... and dropped the cup. I'm not going to lie... it splashed and I cursed. I cleaned the cup off, produced another sample, and stuck it through the door. Then I proceeded to clean up the floor to the best of my ability and scrubbed and scrubbed the heck out of my hands. I'm pretty sure the nurse thought I was in there dropping a deuce because I was taking so long.

We got to hear the heartbeat again today. It was about 150 bpm. That little woosh, wooshing sound is so amazing. I'm restraining myself from blowing some dough on a home doppler so I can hear it whenever I want. Actually Alex is restraining me from blowing some cash on a home doppler.

I also spoke to someone about the cost of all of my visits and such. It's all covered 100% which is... freaking awesome. I was pretty sure that it was because I work at Baptist, but some stuff in our policy changed last year and I wasn't sure if the maternity coverage had changed at all.

Finally, I scheduled my anatomy scan for the 22nd. The count down is on! In a little over two weeks, if the little booger cooperates, we'll find out if we're having a boy or girl. Team Vadge or Team Peen. A little [insert boy name here] or a little [insert girl name here]. I'm convinced that we won't have a name picked out until the baby gets here... and even if we do I don't know if we're going to tell. I really don't want to hear the opinions. I keep joking that our dog's name is Puppy, why not just name our kid Baby?
