16 weeks and 6 days: Because I had a miscarriage in December this entire pregnancy has been different. I have been more afraid, stressed and scared. So I decided to do the 12 week / 16 week ultrasound and blood test for any birth defects. I decided not to do this with either of my children prior. Doing this was more for me to see the baby and make sure the baby was okay to help reassure me and calm my nerves. Today I receive a phone call from Maternal Fetal Medicine letting me know that all my tests were negative (which is good) and that the baby looks perfectly healthy so far. YAY!

18 weeks and 1 day: Today I actually felt and saw you kicking the lower left side on my belly. I almost got it on video but was a kick shy of catching it. I am actually starting to feel better. I am still throwing up just in the morning though. I am so ready for the burst of energy I remember that the second trimester came with... but so far that is nowhere in sight. I can sleep 10 hours and still feel exhausted.
Since this will be my last pregnancy I am trying really hard to enjoy every moment of it. Being able to carry a baby is one of the best experience that I have had in my life. I can't wait to find out what you are little baby. I still have no idea if you are a girl or a boy? But I know that you are special! Only 6 more days till we find out.
