The second trimester is here and I can hardly believe it. This pregnancy in many ways has felt slow as molasses and quick as lightning. It is an interesting dichotomy. I am feeling really good. Energetic, no nausea, less bloating but the scale is definitely starting to tip. I have been trying very hard to be active this pregnancy and go to the gym at least three times a week and so far I think I have gained less than I did with Rivers, which is my goal. It is really a silly goal. Ultimately I know my body will do what it wants to (and it is already starting to show me that) but I just want to be in better shape this go around.
I have been wearing maternity clothes for a few weeks now, mostly because they are the new clothes hanging in my closet and therefore the ones I gravitate to each morning but today I squeezed into a pair of regular jeans and they still button up. I don't think I'm showing quite as much as I hoped I would be at this point but apparently people are starting to notice.
I cannot believe this little human will be here in approximately six months. I had to be induced last time due to gestational diabetes and as I don't have it this time, it will be interesting to experience the natural process of going into labor (if my body does so on it's own). This really is a crazy waiting game but overall I think I am much less consumed with this pregnancy than I was with Rivers. I have my plate full of activities for the next few months so I'm just trying to keep my head above water at this point. Did I tell you that my book club chose a book that is 980 pages!!!!!!!!! We spread it across two months but even then it is still a lot of reading. I've got about 60 pages left and I cannot wait. I am going to slam this book in some cupboard as soon as I'm done and not lift it ever again. Forever Amber. Have you heard of it? It really is a good book but I'm sick of it at this point. I haven't cared for the main character from the beginning and I'm just over her antics. Do you have any good suggestions for books for my book club?
Yep, you're still tiny. Ah well, month 7 will be here soon. Books? Don Miller's "Blue Like Jazz". I would do the same with that big ol' book...980,07284 hundred billion...oh la la pages. SHeesh!
