16 weeks down...24 (or so) to go. All is well. Emma Claire went with me to my OB visit again on Friday. Calin also went with us (her beloved baby doll). We sat down in the room and Emma Claire said "baby heartbeat" (referring to baby sister/brother), then said "Calin heartbeat, Calin ow-ie". Sure enough, we listened to Calin's heartbeat at the end of the visit. My dear midwife plays along and is so kind to include Emma Claire in the visit. Emma Claire knew just what to do this time with the monitor. She held the "microphone" while Nahid guided her. The baby was apparently moving around a lot and had a 160+ bpm heartbeat. Nahid said she was listening for a boy, but hearing a girl (for what it is worth). I have absolutely NO idea or feeling this time as to what it is. My ultrasound is scheduled for my birthday on March 19. Can't wait to find out. Emma Claire says she is getting a "baby brother-sister". I am quite sure there is only one, however! I am so happy that Emma Claire can be a part of the baby's development. She is already a good big sister and asks to "see baby" all day long. She hugs and kisses and talks to baby. She said yesterday "baby turning flips". I think she is probably right. I am starting to feel some movement. It will be fun when she and Brad can feel it too. Amazing. Nahid always gives Emma Claire the tape measure that she uses to measure my belly to take home. She says baby is ~12 cm now, or this long in inches...
