Just how far along am I?

I have lots I want to write about, but I don't want this entry to get too lengthy. I guess I'll post multiple times this week to get caught up on the rest.

I had an OB visit last Monday. We got to hear little Peanut's heartbeat, which was fantastic. I was sad we didn't get to see the precious child though. I thought I was right at 15 weeks, but the doctor said I'm closer to 16. That makes me pretty darn close to 17 now, which is totally amazing!

We did the Quad test (I think that's what it's called)-- the blood test where they check for a number of things including Cystic Fibrosis. Dr. Howell was really careful to explain that the chance of a false positive is certainly real, and even if I'm a carrier for CF, it doesn't mean Peanut will have it. It's just one of those things where we have to wait and see. If the tests come back positive, it's not like we're going to choose to not keep Peanut-- we'll just have to educate ourselves on how to be better parents for him/her.

Our next appointment is March 9 (just 2 weeks) where we hope to find out the sex of the baby. Our doctor has said "boy" since day 1-- even before examining me. What are your thoughts?!?
