So far I'm finding second tri is more difficult than first trimester. I realize that's backward, but apparently so in my case. I'm still suffering from wretched sleep, and I spend more time on the couch than in my bed. Sometimes what keeps me awake is the restless leg/arm syndrome, which I suppose is from my joints loosening. So instead of the typical "energy-filled" second tri, I'm regressing. Another complaint is the back pain I've been experiencing, sometimes even while lying down. I had a premonition that would happen to me early on in pregnancy, especially considering how uh, busty I am.
However, one of the bonus parts about second tri is looking obviously pregnant. Sure, there are still some outfits where it's questionable, but mostly people know right away. I've received a few more belly rubs in the past two weeks (thankfully, all friends/family). I'm not someone who is annoyed at others putting their hands on me; in fact, I welcome it! I guess in some way it allows me to share my pregnancy with others in a more intimate way.
I can't believe there's only 11 days until we get to see the baby again and know if we have a little lady or a little man! I'm scared for my bank account the day we find out!
