Today I am 16 weeks! (In 4 weeks I will be halfway...weird!) It's weird because I am so close to being halfway through and I still barely look pregnant.
I was talking to a couple of the girls I teach in church the other day and they were asking me lots of questions about being pregnant and one of them asked me how it feels to be pregnant. And my response was "Weird." That's the only way I can describe it, especially at this point, where I barely have a bump and I haven't felt the baby move yet. I think that's the only way I can describe it because despite the awful morning sickness (that, thank goodness, has finally subsided), being exhausted almost all of the time, and having a slowly growing belly I still don't FEEL pregnant. I don't feel like there is a little John and Jeanene clone growing inside of me. I mean we have seen it, and heard the heartbeat, there is definitely a baby in there... but it still doesn't feel real.
This week has been a little different. John has been out of town for work since Saturday morning, this is the longest we have been apart since his 3 months in DC last year. I don't like having him gone. It's lonely and I'm kind of a worrier. Plus having our home to myself, day and night, just freaks me out. When I am alone I tend to have an extremely over active imagination. But hopefully he will be home tomorrow night!
The bump :)
How far along: 16 weeks
