Monthly Check up at 17weeks

So now I'm 17 weeks into my pregnancy. Today I had a regular visit to the doctor. I peed, they weighed me (I lost 6 lbs since 4 weeks ago), took my BP which was almost perfect! Then the Dr. did a "belly check" the nurse called it. She felt where my uterus was coming up to, and it's a little below my belly button. Then we got to hear the baby's heart beat with the "doppler"! Andy couldn't make it so I asked my mom if she'd like to come, and she did! :) It was nice to have her there! I find it so amazing to hear that little "wish-wish-wish" sound of the heart. I was hoping to have my BIG ultrasound on 4/20 but the Dr. said that may be too soon to get all the measurements that they need. So I rescheduled for 10 days after...4/30 is now our big day! Hopefully they can see what they need to, and also tell what we have in there!!!
I've definately started feeling the little cookie monster kicking! I think it's been going on for over a week or so, and it's more obvious to me now. Especially when I'm just sitting around watching tv! I can't wait to really feel it, and see it from the outside, that way Daddy can join in this amazing miracle!! :)
