16 weeks

I went in today for my 16 week OB appointment. All went well. I was glad to be able to hear the heartbeat again. She found it right away ( last time it took 2 different people and a lot of time) and we even heard some movement.

Speaking of movement, I actually felt this little one move on Sunday! I was sitting still during Ward Council ( probably the most I sit still all day ). It is definitely earlier than I felt with Aubrey, but I guess I knew what I was feeling this time around, and let's face it, my stomach muscles may be a "bit" more relaxed : ) . It sure feels good to have that little bit of reassurance though that there really is something in there. I always feel like this is such a hard stage because I am a natural worrier and I don't have the reassurance of a growing belly or of movement yet. But, it looks like I'm moving into that stage so I'm excited.

My belly has definitely decided to pop the last couple of days. As Steve said yesterday, "Where did that come from?" It really has blossomed out of nowhere it seems. I was starting to wonder when I was going to show because I'd heard it was earlier with the second. I went to church with a noticeable baby bump though, and I was definitely getting some looks. I'm just waiting for the news to spread : )

I'm not sure how to tell my YW. Maybe I'll just slip it into our opening exercise announcements, although I think my belly will make it's own announcement for me soon enough : )

P.S. Please ignore my haggard look in the picture, it was late but I wanted to post one. I haven't documented much of this pregnancy so I thought I better get started, and I also wait until the end of the day when Aubrey is in bed, so the "rose" has rubbed off a little by that time! : )
