Week 13 - We had just gotten back from Presbytery and I think it took me the whole week to recover. I would go from feeling okay to having a big wave of nausea hit and have to lay down. I did my best to take it easy. I can remember vividly that week 13 was not the best with Samuel's pregnancy but I was so tired of not feeling well that I was discouraged.

| 13 Weeks 3 days - don't mind the dirty mirror, it will get cleaned (foreshadowing :) ) |
Week 14 - I must have been feeling better at this point because it was the weekend of the Flat Rock Creek Festival in Pauling and we spent a good amount of time out there. And I ate a good amount of ridiculous fair food. The weather was a bit cooler which was a big relief. We had another doctor's appointment this week. Once again, no ultrasound, no trying to find the heartbeat etc. I was really really hoping that there was a baby in there as I get a sense of relief each time I hear the baby's heartbeat on the doppler.
Week 15 - I was feeling okay, but I was a little disappointed that I did not feel awesome! I remember with Samuel's pregnancy that I felt SO MUCH better by week 15. However, we found out that we were having another BOY this week so who cares how I felt. We FINALLY had ultrasound during week 15. They moved my due date up a few days and we got see our little cutie. I was 65/35 going in that we were having a boy (Ian wanted a girl, but thought it was a boy). When we first out that we were expecting, I was hoping for a girl and then within a few weeks, I switched and hoped for a boy - so I was thrilled. Ian says that he hopes for a girl somewhere along the way. I said, "Don't talk to me" (I was too close to the morning / all day sickness experience to even think about child #3 Lord willing).

| 15 weeks 1 day - I think I was headed to Cross Country practice |
During our doctor's appointment I found out that I had a bacterial overgrowth which led to antibiotic cream. I was not very mature about this. But it is now a distant memory so Praise the Lord for that.
Week 16 - I finally finally finally felt like myself again (hallelujah!) I had a fire under my bottom and I wanted to get stuff done. I could stay awake and cross stuff off my to-do list during Samuel's naps. I had energy and desire to exercise. I rarely had any nausea. Life felt good again. Thankfully this go around I am gaining weight at much slower rate. I weigh more now than I did at this point during the last pregnancy, but in some ways, I really don't care. I am so thankful for this little life that I will try to be laid back and let my body do what it is going to do.
