Wrapping up Trimester Numero Dos

We made it to the final week of the 2nd trimester!  All I can say about the past several weeks is that they have been incredibly pleasant.  The bump officially made itself known, and I'm feeling super.  Most importantly, the baby has done a great deal of developing and growing.  It is reassuring to know that from now on the baby is viable with the help of medical intervention, should anything happen.  Ugh, it freaks me out just to say that.  Needless to say, I'm very much looking forward to baby staying comfortable inside of its current dwelling place for the next few months.  It may be developed enough, but it's got some fattening up to do!  And I like me a fat baby.  So let's keep growing, okay, little one?

With that, I'm mentally preparing myself for the uncomfortable phase of pregnancy.  Heavy, overbearing bump, me moving at the pace of a slug, muscle cramps, swollen joints.  From what I've read, it can get pretty ugly.  But every pregnancy is different, so who knows what's in store for me.  I'm just trying to stay prepared and approach it with positivity.  However the final trimester pans out, it's all for the good!  For now, I shall enjoy this final week of the 2nd trimester to the fullest.  I'm already so proud of this baby for how far it has come!


Symptoms: Itchy belly, but manageable.  And I have to pee.  All the time.
Thoughts on Food: Food is okay.  I've been eating a bit better this week, but try not to eat too fast or too much because then I start burping nonstop.  Gross.
Cravings: Nah, not really. 
Thankful For: A happy, healthy 2nd trimester.
Current Weight:  Still hovering at 119.
