16 Weeks...A week and a half late :)

Currently, I am 17 1/2 Weeks...but this is my 16-Week update! I know, I need to get with the program.

16 Weeks

I am now entering my fat kid stage of the pregnancy. You know, where you do a double-take and ask yourself...Hmm...is she pregnant...or is she chunky and like her ice cream a little too much....This stage is good for me. I have always been so self-conscious about my stomach and the lack of any type of "pack"...I have had a few frustrating mornings trying to find a shirt to hide my belly so this stage is teaching me to be happy with who I am and to rejoice that we are pregnant!

At my 16-Week appointment, all they did was the usual housekeeping urine, weight, blood work and check the heart rate. AND THAT'S IT! I wanted an ultrasound! :) We were so accustomed to having ultrasounds at every visit with the boys. The doctor told me this is what it is like to have a normal pregnancy. I'm not so sure I like that! My doctor did say I was doing just fine, the baby had a nice strong heart beat at 157 and we go back Oct. 4 for our anatomy ultrasound!

So, far, I've gained 2 pounds, my pants still fit, we've already discussed the shirt issue and praise God I can still sleep on my stomach! I know that won't last for too much longer but I am thankful for it now!

Other than that, there really isn't much to report! The past two weeks have been pretty good, besides my emotionally crying break down every now and then. Poor Spencer. He is so good with me. :)

We are continually thanking God every day for our baby miraculously growing inside of me. (How cool is that!?) I hope that one day we will be able to meet him/her!
