Stansel Journey: 16 Week Update

16 Week Update

How many weeks? I'm 16 weeks. I've read that starting at 16 weeks I may be able to feel the baby move. So far I don't think I can feel any movements yet. The baby is approximately the size of an avocado.

How am I feeling? The nausea is starting to decrease. It comes and goes instead of being constantly there. Other than that I'm feeling OK. I'm definitely feeling bigger.

Weight gain? I have gained approximately 7-8 pounds total.

Doctors appointment? Yes I'm seeing my OB this week. I look forward to seeing the baby on ultrasound. Maybe we will be able to find out the gender???

Maternity Clothes? I've definitely been wearing maternity bottoms, but have not gotten the maternity tops out yet. I have some non-maternity tops that are roomy and are working just fine.

About Us

Thomas and I were married in January 2007 in Houston, Texas. About 8 months later, we were excited to start a family. After a diagnosis of infertility due to PCOS and endometriosis, we were devastated. With the help of infertility treatments we were blessed with twin boys (Brian and Brendan), but unfortunately lost them at 18 weeks due to an incompetent cervix. Unwilling to give up on our dream to have a family, we tried again, but our second try resulted in an ectopic pregnancy. On our third try we were surprisingly expecting sextuplets. On August 4, 2009 at 22 weeks 6 days, we welcomed 4 girls and 2 boys - Haley, Braden, Dallin, Ashlyn, Rachel and Kaitlyn. Our sweet angels Braden, Dallin, Ashlyn and Kaitlyn passed away and returned to our loving Heavenly Father. We have been so blessed to have Haley and Rachel at home with us. They have been home from the NICU since February 2010. They are doing well and growing. They are miracles! We love them and have been so blessed!

We have been so blessed to have added another miracle baby to our family. Kayla was born December 9, 2011. She was born at 36 weeks, 5 days. She is a precious miracle and we are so glad she joined our family.

Our last little miracle, Brandon Thomas joined our family on December 14, 2015. He was born at 36 weeks, 5 days. He was 9 pounds, 7 oz (big boy)! He has spina bifida, but he is doing well. He is such a happy boy!! We love our little boy and are so blessed to have him in our family.
