Doctor appt.

So, we went to our 16 week appointment today and got to hear the heartbeat again! woohoo! It was 154 beats per minute and we go back in 2 weeks to get another ultrasound, pictures, and video. Mike and I were a little concerned because I was sick this whole weekend again from the flu or a virus, so it was very reassuring to hear the heartbeat. My weight has continued to decrease though. I started out at 168 (yikes!) and in 4 weeks lost 8 pounds, so I was at 160 and today (4 weeks later), I am down to 154. So, I've lost 6 more pounds for a total of 16. Geez....I am hoping these sicknesses go away because I *think* my morning sickness is gone. I also need to start drinking Ensure, per my doctor's request. I can't wait to go back in two weeks to see Baby laughlin again!

I drank an Ensure everyday to! It's really good for the baby. Can't wait to see the video.

I always loved hearing that tiny heartbeat.

Try not to worry about the weight loss. You are still giving the baby plenty of nutrients. I was very worried about this, too. I love several pounds and started freaking out that the baby wasn't going to get enough. I drank ensure everyday too. They have a prenatal ensure. It's not by the regular ones. I found it in the baby section of our grocery store. :)

Hang in there Kasey! It sounds like your baby is doing pretty darn well so I wouldn't worry about a thing. Just take the best care of yourself and know you are doing all you can for the lil baby. Hope you start feeling better!
