I had my monthly appointment with Dr. Castilla today and everything is going really well! My weight gain has been slow, so I am thrilled with that. I have been pretty careful so I don't gain a lot of weight during this pregnancy. I look forward to my monthly appointments because I get to hear the baby's heartbeat and it is the most beautiful sound. I am not feeling the baby move as of yet so the sound of the heart beating is so reassuring that everything is just fine. The doctor gave me the referral to get the second trimester ultrasound done with the specialist again. They will check the baby's measurements, vital organs, etc. to make sure that the baby is growing and progressing on schedule. We will hopefully found out the sex of our baby at that appointment too! :) We are so excited to see exactly what we have created. Rich and I don't really have a gender preference. We have tried so long to have a baby and didn't think it would be possible so just the thought of having a healthy baby is perfect enough for us. Whatever gender the baby is will be just as God intended and we are so blessed.
Tomorrow is my 38th birthday and will be my last birthday without my little kiddo. I am looking forward to everything this next year has in store for us. There will be so many milestones and I just want to take the time to really enjoy everything. Time goes by so fast and I want to hold on to all the precious moments in this life, and especially in my baby's life. Here's to a fabulous year ahead and to 38!!
