2nd Trimester

Now that the 1st trimester is over, life is getting a little easier. I am not so sick and I have a little more energy. It is crazy how much life these babies suck out of me. There are so many fun things about being pregnant, here is my list.

• My boobs are getting bigger
• My belly is getting bigger
• I like knowing that I am growing two little bodies inside of me
• I finally got to buy one of those baby name book

Okay so there really aren't that many good things there are a lot more bad

• Asthma and allergies are increased
• I am so tired 
• My schedule is terrible, well I am much much lazier, and can't seem to get motivated
• All the weird crampy feelings you get; everywhere including your vagina
• My eye sight is changing
• My back hurts so bad, it keeps me up at night and hurts through-out the day
• I have zits, but even worse than when I was a teenager
• I am harry; hair grows in the weirdest spots; my belly and neck are just a few (don't worry I am just going to start waxing my whole body.)

I am lucky though a lot of things that happen to ladies that are pregnant have not happened to me. I have never been constipated, I don't have heart burn, and I have only thrown up 4 times (two of those times were just because I was coughing too much.) The weird thing is that I haven't had any cravings, mostly everything just looks gross; and you know how I used to be a treat queen well nothing sweet taste good to me now. Here are some things that do taste good.

• liquid cheese
• mexican food
• welchs raspberry and lime sparkling drink
• snow cones

I am still scared though I have a long time left and so much can happen until delivery. I hear all these things like oh I was pregnant with twins and then lost one at 17 weeks, or whatever. I would hate for something like that to happen. We are so excited though we get to find out in one week what they are. Neither one of us have any idea, and forget my maternal instinct I thought there was only one. Timmy really wants a boy and a girl but I don't really care. I would like that though just in case for some reason we can't do this again.

Every week Timmy has been so so excited to take pictures of me and he told his school on his list of things he is excited for this summer is to watch his wife get fat. He has been the cutest husband, he has never once told me I look fat, or am lazy because the house isn't clean or mad I didn't make dinner. He has just been trying to take care of me. I am so excited that Timmy and I have been able to go through all of this together. Surgery, all the medications, hormones, emotional ups and downs. He is going to be a great daddy!
