18 week check

18 weeks, 4 days today. So far, so good! Heart rate was 160. Baby was kicking the heart Doppler so much, that it was difficult for the nurse to read it! My new name for this babe is "Thumper." I am feeling him/her kick all day - does Thumper ever sleep?

I am still having infrequent, irregular contractions. My OB is not worried - this can be completely normal for some women. To ease my mind, she did a cervical ultrasound, and my cervix is nice and long at a little over 4 cm. Phew!

Another shot today. 17 more to go!

Our full anatomy scan is next Friday! We are SO excited!

Glad to hear everything's going well. I still think you should find out if it's a girl or boy. Because I really really want to know!
