Baby #3 (aka Owl Baby)

It's official, I am pregnant with our 3rd child and am due July 15th! We are yet again not finding the gender until Baby is born. I must say this time I am battling wanting to find out at the ultrasound, but I do love the complete joy I feel when I meet Baby for the first time.

Anyways, so far Baby is measuring right on track with my due date. The first time we heard Baby's heart was at my 12wk appointment and the BPM were 170. This time (at 16wks) it was 160 bpm.
When I was 13wks pregnant I had a follow-up renal ultrasound. The ultrasound tech I had was amazing. During my post-void bladder measurement my baby "accidentally" jumped on to the screen! It was so good to see Baby. (Even if it was "unofficial" and I didn't get a picture.)
I must say this is the first time I haven't had an early ultrasound, but according to my midwife it is a good thing. As it means I don't have a history of miscarriage or placenta issues, etc. I was just spoiled with the boys and got to see them early. :)

As far as pregnancy symptoms, I am still nauseous A LOT and am exhausted all the time! And you wanna talk about sensitivity to smells, oh my gosh. Smells are everywhere and they generally make me nauseated. I miss the days I enjoyed baking and *gasp* doing the dishes.
I have felt early movements and it helps remind me everything is fine. :)

I wish I had a picture to include, but I don't. Next time I write about baby I will!
