While I was extremely relaxed and enjoying a facial, I am fairly certain that I felt the first flutter of Baby Fletcher. It was the coolest feeling!

I went for my check-up, and everything sounded good!

Jeff felt a flutter, and his face was priceless!
I am sporting my maternity scrub pants. They are almost as amazing as maternity jeans.

I had been feeling pretty good lately until last week. The sonographer saw a fibroid on my optional scan at 13 weeks, but said it was nothing to worry about. At my 16 week check-up, the doctor said that eventually it would lose it's blood supply and die but cause some pain. Well on the second day of pain turned into cramping, I got nervous and called my doctor. They told me to come in the following day if I still had pain. The next morning I had a visible contraction so I might have freaked out a bit. Everything checked out just fine. I did learn that some women are hospitalized at some point for the pain and it can happen again; however, Baby Fletcher was in lala land and noticed none of this. So we will just keep an eye on it, but the doctor doesn't think it should cause major problems.
The following week I got to attend my first big girl National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners conference in San Antonio and learned a ton. I definitely got my exercise mentally and physically. It was kind of interesting...I found my mind wandering between NP and soon-to-be mommy as I learned about vaccine and medication updates. One of the exhibitors asked if something was going on because it seemed like a crazy amount of women were pregnant at this conference. I know they say that when you are pregnant it seems like there are pregnant women everywhere, but I had noticed an unusual number of pregnant women at the conference, especially in the lines for the restroom. We did get pretty funny looks when my two pregnant friends and I wandered around together, but this fortunately led to very generous samples from vendors for diaper cream, baby wash, etc. I also got to visit with a friend from high school. I hadn't seen her since her wedding and got to meet her precious little 5 month old son!
