SECOND TRIMESTER!! Even though it often felt like time was moving like molasses, I now can't believe I've hit second tri. From what I hear, second is the best -- your bump is evident, but not uncomfortable; you find out the sex; you start preparing and purchasing; your energy returns; you feel the first flutters and kicks. Ahh, can't wait!
Symptom-wise, no new developments. I can feel some stretching in my uterus, and I don't feel as agile as a couple of weeks ago, which doesn't bode well for third tri. I'm 40% in maternity clothes now. The bump still isn't as nicely rounded as I'd wish, but in most of my clothes I, IMO, look pregnant.
I'm still able to sleep on my belly; in fact it's the only way I can fall asleep these days. I may end up trying a body pillow to help get me on my side more, but I can't imagine there being enough room in our bed for that. :-/
I still wonder all the time about our baby. There are so many unknowns, and for someone as Type A as me -- not a good mix. Right now I'd be happy to just know the sex, but I have to wait another 6 weeks. The suspense is unbearable.
Baby is now the size of a lemon!
Yay for 2nd tri! You look great & so happy! I started feeling her at 16 wks, so hopefully you'll feel your lil one here soon too. That's the best! I have the boppy total body pillow & it's been great...esp since being bigger now. It def. takes up a lot of space though. That's mean they're making u wait til 20 wks to find out the sex. Maybe you can talk them into it sooner. I found out at 15+ wks. Sweet talk them, A. :)
