That's right, I'm officially in my second trimester this week! I'm starting to feel more normal, although my standards are much different right now. Do I feel like I haven't slept in a week, does the smell of coffee or pepper or meat of any kind make me want to vomit, does my head pound, or has it pounded for days on end, is the only thing I think about at work going home and sleeping? No? Then awesome... I AM feeling much better!!!! Ryan and I went to work out last night for the first time in...well..a month or more. Yikes!! Running last night felt very strange, as if there was a foreign object in my abdomen bouncing along with me as I ran, weird huh? It took some getting used to!
Just in the past week or two I've definitely starting showing. As of my last appointment I had lost 2 pounds (perfectly normal when the idea of eating repulses you), but I'm thinking that this one coming up will be a different story.I have a few maternity things, but will be in serious need very shortly. Most of my pants now have to be worn unbuttoned, so Ryan intends on forcing me to go out an actually buy some suitable attire this weekend.
People keep on asking me if I have any cravings. For the most part I dislike way more than I crave but I can say that there are a few now. Orange juice (can't get enough of it), grape fruit (the smell!!), root beer (had one over at a friends house and now I can't stop wanting it). That's about it for now, not exactly cravings that will pack on the pounds, but I'm very grateful for that. I'm sure the pounds will be here soon enough. I have to say I'm looking forward to that, especially so people will know that I'm pregnant instead of abnormally proportioned.
I hope that everyone is doing well! I'll update again after our next appointment, Fri. the 15th. Cheers!
