Well, according to some websites, I will be in my second trimester tomorrow! Some say you don’t start the second trimester until the end of your 12th week. But we don’t like those websites.
We don’t have our first OB appointment until next Thursday. I am quickly remembering how my first pregnancy was measured in four-week increments between doctor’s appointments. Thursday – hurry up & get here already!!
I have been feeling pretty good. I think my tiredness is starting to go away but I’ve been having general yucky feelings this week but I am blaming that on the travel and different food than I’m used to. I am also feeling the familiar lower back pain I had last time – I have to be careful when getting up out of bed or a chair because it can send a sharp pain shooting across my lower back. From what I remember, it’s normal and nothing to worry about.
I am still having VERY weird dreams at night. Last night was the second time in the past few weeks that I dreamed that Rick wanted a divorce. In real life I have no fears about this what-so-ever so it is very disturbing to have this be in my dreams at night. I also had a very inappropriate dream about someone I shouldn’t have but will not go into detail here. I did tell Rick about it so there are no secrets (lest he want to divorce me for keeping something from him).
I am starting to get a little belly but if you didn’t know I was pregnant you would think I just ate too much. I am afraid that I am just eating too much but the belly is just right out front and if I was just getting fat from eating too much I would think I would look fat everywhere, not just in my tummy sticking out. I can still fit into some of my regular pants and capris but am slowly outgrowing those.
That’s all I have for today. I hope to get a belly picture on Sunday so start the collection!
