I had my 16 week appointment today (at 16.5 weeks). I have only gained 1 pound since my last appointment which means I'm still down 5 pounds from when I started. I'm still throwing up almost every day, but the doctor isn't worried about the baby. He says the baby is getting what it needs and not to worry. I know there are much worse cases than mine. He found the baby's heart beat right away and it was around 145/150 beats per minute. The doctor asked me if I could feel the baby moving yet - which I can't really. I feel a little bubbly now and then, but I still can't tell if it's the baby or gas. He said in the next couple of weeks I should be able to tell. My ultrasound is scheduled for October 10th! I can't wait to find out if we're having a boy or a girl. I'm already counting down the days. Can you believe I'm already nearly half way through this pregnancy?

Here is my baby belly picture for today - 16 weeks and 4 days:
