2nd Trimester Bliss

I kid you not, these pictures are not backwards. I continue to be amazed at how pregnancy makes your body gain and lose weight within weeks. We could attribute it to better eating habits and more activity around the busy office. Either way, the baby is doing well and I'm feeling great.

 

My second trimester has treated me very well, and I'm feeling back to my usual self. I'm more fatigued than normal, but still wonderful compared to the 1st trimester.

 

We are anxiously waiting to find out the gender of the baby. Our ultrasound is scheduled for early February. At our last appointment, we had a quick ultrasound without any pictures to take home. But it was amazing to see the baby moving and waving its hands around. It looked like the baby was waving at us.

16 weeks and Happy New Year!

 

Here is a 16 week shot. Now my energy level has increased and it's perfect timing for shopping the New Year sales for the baby room. We have been shopping for furniture for the baby room and have found almost all of what we were looking for. Phil and I hit up the Carter's outlet and picked up some cute, neutral baby clothes and jammies. He said I just lit up when we started looking at the baby clothes, so we had to leave with something! :)  Porter has been busy sniffing the new clothes and baby equipment.

 

Soon it will be time for setting up a registry...
