17 Week Appointment

We are back from our 17 week appointment and we are happy to report Ofie's heart is beating away at 144 beats a minute. It was the quickest appointment we have had so far, very little waiting and the appointment was a total of 15 minutes from start to finish. After the appointment we decided to do a little scoping out of baby things and get some lunch. Wow is Baby's R Us overwhelming. So many baby things, so many choices, it's going to take us months just to figure out what we like. Seriously, does a baby need all those things?

Our next appointment is the big one. On March 17, easy to remember St. Patrick's Day, we'll be getting our 21 week ultrasound followed by a visit with the doctor. The ultrasound is supposed to last one hour and we'll get to make sure everything is ok, we have no reason to believe it won't be. We will not be finding out what we're having so Ofie will remain Ofie until some nice warm day in July when she decides to show herself. So next month we'll have ultrasound pics to show. As of now I have no really belly to show yet, but we'll be sure to post a pic when there is.

In other news now that 2/14 has happened and work will be settling down we're beginning our house search. We've found a realtor who we really think is going to be great and we may be out looking at houses as soon as this weekend. We're optimistic we'll find a great house at a great price and maybe with any luck be able to move before July. We'll keep everyone posted on house developments as well.
