Well, I'm 26 weeks now! I just looked at old pics from 22.5 weeks and 30 weeks when pregnant with Spencer, and I would say that I am about in the middle of both of those pics. So, apparently, even though I feel much larger this time around (and have gained ugggg amts of weight), I'm actually looking (in pics anyway) completely appropriate for my pregnancy body. I did try on a pair of my normal jeans the other day and can pretty much still get them on (without being buttoned obviously). They're a little tight, but at least I know I'm not too crazy big! I'll take it!!
As for the general pregnancy stuff, I'm definitely enjoying the overall second trimester. I do have my occasional days when I'm exhausted by 8 p.m., but for the most part, I have normal energy and am not any more tired than I would be working full time and chasing after a toddler in my "off" hours. Otherwise, I have no other symptoms: no heartburn, no nausea, not peeing too often (Thank the Good Lord I still don't have to wake up in the middle of the night and I am sleeping SO well), no significant cravings, etc. It can be hard to breathe at times, especially when the little chap stretches out fully, but a little readjusting and we're good to go. Second tri is always the best!!
Thank you all so much for your name suggestions. We're working on it still, but you all have given us new names to talk about!!
You look wonderful! Glad everything is going well!

You are looking so great!! (and what a relief to hear that the exhaustion isn't any more than regular work/toddler combo!)
ReplyDeleteYou look wonderful, and I'm so glad you're feeling well!
