... you must be 14 weeks pregnant!
As I've mentioned before, in spite of the textbook discomforts of pregnancy, I am really feeling better able to cope and appreciate the experience of being pregnant with this go around. As I did during my time while cooking Emma, I am again receiving the weekly updates from BabyCenter.com, which give me a clear sense of what's happening in Number Two's development. One fun aspect I particularly enjoy is that each week baby is compared in size to a fruit or vegetable. Today, at 14 weeks gestation, Number Two is apparently the size of a lemon, and weighs approximately the same weight as a U.S. quarter! Coming along nicely, little one!
Now that I'm officially in the 2nd trimester I did a trial run in not taking my anti-nausea drugs this weekend, and it was a great success! Two days now with no Unisom, and not a bit of morning/all-day sickness in sight - a huge relief. I've also noticed a slight return of my lost energy in the past week. Although I'm not going to be running any half marathons again anytime soon, its nice to be able to stay awake past 7:00 PM without a struggle. I even stayed up until 10:30 on Saturday night with Kurt to watch a movie - check me out! So to all of this I say a hearty "Welcome to my life 2nd trimester - I would hug you if I could!!"
