We didn't get any sonograms today, it was kind of hard to. She kept covering her face with her little hands! haha Everything's fine, she's still growing, her little heart's still beating strong.
Our doctor was saying that her kids are the same age difference as Brodie and Naomi. We asked her how they got along, and she said that they are little buddies! She also gave us some advice, such as when Brodie meets Naomi for the first time for me to not be holding her but for Dad to be holding her and I hold Brodie. Dad would then bring Naomi over to us and she also said having the two kids exchange gifts, one from Naomi to her big brother and one from Brodie to his baby sister. She said that that will also help with their bonding :) Her telling us that her two kids get along real well really made me feel at ease. I mean, I already have a feeling that our kids aren't going to be like me and my sister growing up or Ben and his sister growing up because our kids will be closer in age. Last Saturday Brodie and I went bridesmaid dress shopping with our friend Amber and two other of her bridesmaids. One of the girls said that her and her older brother are also 16 months apart and they have always got along, always been best friends. She did say that the only time they didn't get along was when they were 17 and 18, but before and after that they've been really close! So that is really awesome. I know our kids will have their moments of fighting, but for the most part they're going to be best friends :)
The doctor measured my belly and we're still right on track with our estimated due date (EDD) of August 27th. I've already made up my mind that if she's not here by the 20th or 21st, I'm going to get induced. I know how I felt at the end of my pregnancy with Brodie and with having to go through the summer being pregnant, I know I'm going to want her to come out a lot sooner!! haha :)
The pregnancy so far hasn't been too bad. The only "bad" things are just not being able to carry Brodie upstairs to his room, getting out of bed/rolling over hurts, I can't be as active with Brodie as I'd like to be, and I'm afraid that when we get closer to August I'm not going to be able to pick Brodie up at all-which would just kill me! But we'll see what the doctor says by then. None of the doctors have said anything like that yet.
I've been wanting to take Brodie to one of our appointments, so he can see his baby sister on the screen and hear her heartbeat. We were going to today, but I decided to go ahead and take him on to daycare. Perhaps next time, but we'll see. Our next OB appointment is at the end of May. I have to take a Glucose test, to determine if I have gestational diabetes. I have to drink some "yummy" type soda. Last time I had fruit punch and it was all right, but this time I have lemon-lime and I'm a little weary on it. haha I didn't have gestational diabetes with Brodie, so I would guess I won't have it this time. But, you never know every pregnancy is different. :)
I can't believe we only have 17 more weeks to go! This pregnancy is going by so much faster than our first. I think its because we know what to expect this go around. Soon our little girl will be in our arms and our family will be complete :)
