16 weeks prego

I received some positive test results... the Triple Screen test, which looks for certain birth defects, came back all negative, increasing the chances that we'll have a lucky healthy baby. Yahoo!

Last week I had a day of contractions that felt exactly like Braxton-Hicks contractions, the "practice contractions" that usually come near the end of pregnancy. Last time I didn't have those until I was about 30 weeks along. My doctor insisted I go into the office. When I got there, they casually dismissed them as Braxton-Hicks, saying they can start earlier and be stronger in subsequent pregnancies. Why they couldn't tell me that over the phone, I don't know! I haven't had them since then.

I did feel the baby move last week. It was cool. :) I never felt Evan move until I was 23 weeks pregnant and he was really huge. This time, I thought I felt it a few times, but wasn't really certain. But since I've felt it a few times now, I'm sure now. It just feels like light movement inside my belly... very weird.

Evan is doing great. He is so laid back. I know, I know, I'm bragging, but really... he is so happy and plays well with others and has his moments as a two year old, but then mellows out really quickly after an upset. I'm so thankful.
