Second Trimester, here I come!

Ah. Finally. I woke up yesterday morning and thought, "What is this strange sensation? Wait...I feel semi-normal! I don't have to burp first thing in the morning! I slept until 9:30 without having to get up and eat something! I'm ba-ack!"

So, we're into week thirteen here at the ole' homestead, and we're feelin' fine. The Ravens lost today, but that was the only blight on an otherwise lovely (and NORMAL) weekend! We spent the day with the in-laws down at the bay shore in Annapolis, D and his dad went fishing and his mom and I sat around and yapped. The breezes were lovely, and we had fun watching the dog playing in the sand. We came home and got to see a good friend who we hadn't seen in a long while, and I actually was able to stay awake until she left, instead of falling asleep on the front porch with my nose in my teacup!

I am soooo all about the 2nd tri - feeling halfway normal again rocks! And it happened so suddenly. One day, I'm burping and crying and can't eat anything but yogurt, and suddenly, I'm gardening and visiting with friends and eating italian cold cut subs. It's awesome!!

My belly is getting rounder and harder. I can't lie on my stomach anymore - it's like having a softball underneath me, pressing into my tummy. My midwife told me that by my next appointment, on November 5th, I'll probably have felt the flutters of the baby moving! So exciting! My mood is so much improved by feeling better, that I can actually feel excited and stuff. It's fantastic.

Well, I will post tomorrow, right now it's time for Sunday Night Football...!
