This was the first time the baby was sleeping during the check. I actually got to hear a strong heartbeat and not just a bunch of swishing and swooshing around. The doctor asked me if I have felt movement yet (which is typically between 18-22 weeks) - which honestly, I don't think I have. The doctor looked at my ultrasound records to see the location of my placenta, which is in front, which explains why I haven't felt anything yet. She explained that it is normal and it's like having a pillow between the baby and my stomach. I am anxious to feel the kicks, however, I will continue to enjoy my full nights sleep.
I still feel great, I'm keeping busy and I'm golfing as much as I can and I'm loving every minute of the summer. The timing has been great, by the time I will be big and miserable, summer will be over and I will have a few months left of crunch time to get everything ready.
The baby bump is there for sure now, however, at this point, I don't look pregnant, I look fat!!! I'm sure it will only be a matter of weeks now before my normal clothes don't fit anymore.
