16 Weeks

I wish I had posted week by week with each boy as I find myself going back to my pregnancy with Koen to see where I was at in regards to how I felt, looked etc.

I'm going to sound a bit crazy for a minute but here I go...

This is a weird stage for me because I don't feel pregnant because typical pregnancy symptoms ended for me a week ago (which is normal!). And, I'm not a hypochondriac but suddenly I do sometimes feel afraid that everything will not be okay. I haven't really felt the baby move really since last week, although possibly a few times today. I worry that my Graves Disease will come back while pregnant (which in turn would affect the pregnancy and the baby) and I worry that the baby will die (I think this is on my mind because it recently happened to someone we are close to and also to Michelle Duggar). I try not to think about it and just remind myself that I'm really not in control of this baby's life and I just need to trust God on this:) I didn't worry about these things with the boys and I'm sure it will help once I feel baby kicking me all the time.

In lighter news...

I crave eggs and love light meals. Salads and soups=awesome. My weight gain is still at 4lbs. I get to see the midwife in 1.5 weeks AND I get to have my ultrasound in 2.5 weeks. I know already that I will be crying when I see our baby on the screen.

And finally, the news story is on tomorrow! I hope it goes well and for some reason I'm nervous about it. We are going to get a copy of the story on disk which will be a great keepsake. Looking forward to meeting the first baby in the next couple of weeks. It is Trish and Steve's first baby and I can't wait to meet my little niece.

Have a good night!

Love, Louise
