Halfway!

This blog is totally turning into a baby blog. But babies encompass 99% of my thoughts so that seems pretty accurate.

I can't believe I am over half way done with this pregnancy. It's going so fast but at the same time, I feel like we found out forever ago!

It hit me the other day that I am starting to feel normal again. I remember reading in one of my pregnant books a few months back that most women in their second trimester feel really good and sometimes even forget that they are pregnant. I felt like that was impossible. I was already in my second trimester and still feeling like a zombie and a lot of foods still sounded disgusting. But yesterday I didn't need a nap. And I've started to be okay with all foods again. My stomach never hurts. I eat lunch with my coworkers again instead of napping at my desk. I started making dinner again and keeping the house really clean. I'm feeling like me again! Now I know this won't last. I know the third trimester will kick my butt and I am about to get suuuppeer uncomfortable. So I'm going to enjoy this while I can.

Here's my bulleted update list that you were hoping for:

-Still feeling little flutters from the inside and just a little bit from the outside. I wish I felt her more often though. I'm a paranoid mama.

-Feeling like I'm growing every day, but still not huge. But strangers are being able to tell now. It's nice to not just look chubby.

-I need to stop buying baby clothes. I'm at least being smart and not getting newborn stuff. I'm trying to spread it all out through 12 months.

-I eat bagels and cereal for most meals.

-I'm obsessed with string cheese. I want it all the time.

-Recently my love for fruit came back (fruit and veggies made me nauseous for the first few months) and I want grapes and cantaloupe with every meal.

-Most vegetables still make me sick so I stated drinking low sodium V8 to make up for it. It's super gross, but I can down it fast so it's better than vegetables for my nausea.

-My hormones are probably the only thing not balancing out right now. Everything makes me cry. Or makes me irritated.

-I can't sleep on my stomach anymore which is sad news but I can still sleep really well so I'm not gonna complain haha.

-We had her 20 week ultrasound on January 4th. She was bouncing all around again. She's gonna be a hyper one!

-Everything looked great at the ultrasound! They say she is healthy and everything is growing and progressing the way it should.

-Bending over feels weird.

-I've been so good at exercising. Except that whole Christmas break thing. I pretty much did no physical activity for 2 straight weeks. But before and after I have been pretty consistent. Nothing intense, but I usually walk for a mile to a mile and a half and then do some simple arms and legs things about 5 days a week. This week I worked out every day! But I don't expect that to happen too often.

-We've been looking around for a bigger place to live. Originally we wanted to get it of down town. But the more we look around and pray about it, the more we feel like we should stay down here.. We'll see! There's a possibility we could be moving the beginning of next month! Which would be fine by me. We need a room to store all this baby crap and I am more than ready to start decorating a nursery!

-Oh and also I pee all the time. Like.. All the time. Seriously.

This is no fancy picture, but I'm lazy so Instagram it is! I'm definitely growing!!
