unsure of convergence to Integer sequence

[Gerald McGarvey]

Something to note, the terms can be rewritten as follows:

2/1+(4*Pi)/(3^2*Sqrt[3])
2/1+(16*Pi)/(3^3*Sqrt[3])
14/3+(104*Pi)/(3^4*Sqrt[3])
14/1+(936*Pi)/(3^5*Sqrt[3])
158/3+(10584*Pi)/(3^6*Sqrt[3])
238/1+(143496*Pi)/(3^7*Sqrt[3])
3758/3+(2265624*Pi)/(3^8*Sqrt[3])
7518/1+(40791816*Pi)/(3^9*Sqrt[3])
151934/3+(824378904*Pi)/(3^10*Sqrt[3])
378254/1+(18471328776*Pi)/(3^11*Sqrt[3])
9304142/3+(454350385944*Pi)/(3^12*Sqrt[3])
27689662/1+(12169555717896*Pi)/(3^13*Sqrt[3])
802115870/3+(352528455936024*Pi)/(3^14*Sqrt[3])
2776117230/1+(10980885962741256*Pi)/(3^15*Sqrt[3])
92521462766/3+(365967121556087064*Pi)/(3^16*Sqrt[3])

which contains the following sequence:
4,16,104,936,10584,143496,2265624,40791816,824378904,18471328776,454350385944,12169555717896,352528455936024,10980885962741256,365967121556087064
