16 week ultrasound!

We got our long awaited 16 week ultrasound yesterday, and I am so happy to announce that things are going well!  Our little dumpling is growing big and strong.  Weighed in at 6 oz, measuring 16 weeks, 4 days.  Heart was beating at 150 bpm, which is a little slower than we are used to, but normal!  We were able to see 2 arms, 2 hands, 2 legs and 2 feet.  We have a 3 vessel cord which is wonderful and no signs of any problems or issues.  I had refused all prenatal testing as far as bloodwork, amnio's and a cvs.  The ultrasound tech did measure the nuchal fold, which was 2.54.  I think they measure it and just don't tell you, but I knew what she was doing.  I've been going back and forth on getting the AFP bloodwork to check for things like spina bifida and down syndrome.  The problem I have with these types of tests are the false positives.  I do not want to spend my pregnancy needlessly worrying about whether my baby might have a problem or might not.  I have the bloodwork slip, and it needs to be done before 20 weeks, so I have approx. 3 weeks to decide.  I guess I'll decide and have it done around the 30th which is my next OB appointment. 
I am also so excited to inform you that I have only gained 5 lbs this whole pregnancy.  I didn't gain anything from my appointment 3 weeks ago to yesterday.  I have been eating like a crazy lady so I was very surprised!  I would be happy to not gain anything the whole pregnancy, but I have a feeling I'll be packing on the pounds in a few months!
