18th Week Check-up

Today's visit to the dr. was to screen me to see if the baby has down syndrome, spina bifida, or any other fetal defects. I won't find out anything for a few days, they usually only call if there is a problem. No news is good news. Also, I got to hear the heartbeat again. The baby was moving around alot, which I still don't know if I can feel yet. Dr. Shaw said it would feel like flutters, but my stomach is always fluttering. While she was listening to the heartbeat we heard the baby kick, and she asked if I felt it but I didn't! So in the next few weeks I should really be able to feel the baby moving around better. On Feb. 24th we get to go in for a sono to find out the sex!! Just two more weeks!! I can't wait!! I know the time will pass quickly bc I have two busy weeks ahead of me.
